Smart Gripper ™ 2.1
(Patent Pending)
Applied Robotics' Smart Gripper ™ 2.1
Specifically designed for precision and application
flexibility.
Smart Gripper ™ 2.1 pictured with optional fingers
Featuring a universal operating platform and accurate positioning of robotic fingers, Applied Robotics’ Smart Gripper
meets your stringent requirements for precision and application flexibility, while bringing greater efficiencies to your
application.
The Smart Gripper is operated using 24Vdc discrete signals
for use with any robot controller. The user pre-programs
motions into the Smart Gripper’s non-volatile memory for
later recall triggered by the robot controller’s discrete output lines. Up to 32 programs can be selected using the
Smart Gripper’s five discrete input lines. The Smart Gripper
includes a fail safe brake to prevent object drop upon
power loss. Status about the motions, such as “motion
complete” and “object gripped” is provided by the Smart
Gripper’s three discrete output lines.
A PC-based Integrated Development Environment (IDE) assists
in program development.
Interchangeable fingers are designed to hold or carry micro
plates (in either landscape or portrait orientation), test tubes
and other media. Fingers can be designed by the user, or provided by Applied Robotics, Inc.
The Smart Gripper comes with an internal motion controller and
precision motor. The Smart Gripper is powered by 24Vdc at 2
Amps maximum.
Not exactly what your application requires? The Smart Gripper
2.1 is fully scalable. Applied Robotics can design a solution that
meets your particular application needs.
