3-Finger Adaptive Gripper Status Active Superusers Ivan Penskiy (ipenskiy[at]umd[dot]edu) Important documents and useful links 3F gripper product sheet 3F gripper manual Github with Robotiq ROS packages (currently unmaintained) Overview 3-finger adaptive gripper from Robotiq is ideal for advanced manufacturing and robotic research. It adapts to the object’s shape for a solid grip, so you can focus on the task and not the grasping. The gripper works well with Universal Robots products and can be controlled directly using the pendant and Polyscope software or using ROS framework (Robot Operating System). Software setup 3F gripper is connected to the lab's LAN with a static IP. The primary communication protocol with the gripper is MODBUS TCP. Location Brendan Iribe Center 432, Room 0116. Physical specifications Stroke 155 mm Grip force 30 to 70 N Payload 2.5 to 10 kg Closing speed 22 to 110 mm/s Mass 2.3 kg Reservation Currently there is no reservation requirement for the 3F gripper. The gripper is used on a project-need basis, contact the lab manager if you are planning to use it. Video demonstration The following videos demonstrate capabilities of Robotiq 3-finger adaptive gripper: 3F gripper: main features 3F gripper: Polyscope control 3F gripper: Kuka arm integration Note: these are promotional and instructional videos. They are included for demonstrational purposes only. The details of actual operational procedures in RML can differ! Important reminders The gripper has exposed driving metal gears. Be careful not obstruct their motion or get your fingers jammed. Gaining access to equipment Contact the lab manager (Ivan Penskiy (ipenskiy[at]umd[dot]edu). ROS workflow Follow this tutorial.
