2F-85 & 2F-140 - Instruction Manual
5.1.3. Fingertips
The contact grip points for the Robotiq 2-Finger Adaptive Gripper are its two fingertips and palm pad.
Robotiq offers a selection of fingertips (see the Spare Parts, Kits and Accessories section) and users can create custom fingertips.
The figure below represents the distal phalanx (which acts as the fingertip holder). This part is the permanent, non customizable
part of the gripper finger on which the fingertip must be mounted.
Custom fingertip designs must meet the following specifications:
l
Fingertip must not exceed 100 mm in height from the fingertip's base.
l
Fingertip must not exceed 100 mm in width from the fingertip's base (refer to Y axis from Fig. 5-22).
l
Refer to the Mechanical specifications section to evaluate the grip force according to your fingertip design.
l
Applied forces to the gripper must not exceed moment and force limits detailed in the Moment and Force Limits section.
Info
Both 2-Finger 85 and 2-Finger 140 use the same finger holder.
