Setup and control
The Gripper is powered and controlled directly via a single Device Cable that carries a 24V DC supply and Modbus RTU communication over RS-485, see
for control of the Gripper (various software packages are available for control via various robot controllers).
Gripper Coupling is required for 2-Finger usage, the Coupling will provide mechanical and electrical connectivity. See
for installation of the
Coupling,
for available couplings.
The 2-Finger has an embedded object detection feature using indirect sensing methods. When picking an object via the "go to" command, the Gripper
status will allow you to know if an object is picked or not via a simple object detection bit (0 or 1). When an object is detected, the Gripper will stop. If the
object is being dropped, the Gripper will automatically close to keep the object until the ''go to'' command limit is attained. For details on object
