Adaptive Gripper

The robotic gripper that adapts to all parts, simply.

Robotiq is developed by Quebec company. Robotiq is very interesting robotic gripper that can adapt to various types of objects. 

How it works

• 3 articulated fingers and 4 grasping modes to pick a wide variety of sizes and shapes.
• Send simple open-close commands and let the gripper adapts to any geometry.
• Control the closing speed, force, do partial closing / opening.
• Receive grip detection feedback from the gripper.
• Embedded gripper controller communicating with the robot controller over Ethernet/IP, Modbus RTU, DeviceNet or EtherCAT. Program from the teach pendant.
• Electric gripper, comes with the mechanical mount for your robot. Has two connectors on the side for 24V power supply and communication.

Adaptive Gripper can use for many type application:

• Manufacturing Applications: Work with a single tool to pick, hold and place parts of different sizes and shapes.
• Teleoperation: The gripper for dexterous manipulation and intuitive teleoperation.
• Research Operations: Expand the research opportunities of your robot.

Even more impressive, when the Adaptive Gripper is combined with the Motoman SDA10D dual-arm robotic system by Yaskawa, the result is a very powerful robot capable of manipulating a large variety of objects very precisely. The kitting example below illustrates the system capabilities very well.
