4.5 Picking features : Force control, Re-grasp and Object detection.
As stated in previous sections, object picking is done via a simple "Go To " command, bit calls for movement, while byte is the aimed position, rGTO rPR rS
and will be the desired speed and force settings respectively. This section describes key features in object picking applications : P rFR
Force control
Re-grasp
Object detection
Force control :
The 2-Finger Gripper gripping force is controlled via the byte (see ). rFR Section 4.3, robot output registers & functionalities
The Gripper behavior will
change according to the rFR force requested.
rFR = 0 : Very fragile objects or deformable objects mode
Lowest force
Re-grasp feature is off
1 127 : Solid & fragile objects rFR
Low torque mode
Re-grasp feature is on
128 255 : Solid & strong objects rFR
High torque mode
Re-grasp feature is on
Table below shows the expected applied force according to the payload material hardness, speed setting and force setting . All tests were done rSP rFR
with the latest 2-Finger Gripper generation with firmware GC3-1.3.9. Data was obtained with a Load Cell from . Phidget, S Type, model 3138
