We have recently launch a new version of our 2-Finger 85 Adaptive Gripper. It has been designed with collaborative robots in mind. In fact, with a payload that can suit a lot of collaborative robot applications and other interesting specifications, this flexible gripper is a good addition to your collaborative working cell. Even if it can fit with most collaborative robots, the 2-Finger 85 matches perfectly with the Universal Robots' UR5 and UR10 collaborative models. Because this Gripper fits so well with the UR5 and 10, we are providing a complete kit for these specific robots. In fact, the kits includes a Gripper and all the accessories you need to fit it on your Universal Robots.

Top Reasons to Choose the 2-Finger 85

Flexibility: To leverage the flexibility of a robot that can perform various tasks, you need a flexible tool that is also adaptable.

Ease of integration, ease of use: The 2-Finger 85 UR Kit has everything needed to install the Gripper on the robot. Including auto-install prepackaged subroutines for easy programming.

From a single source: Several Robotiq distributors are also UR distributors, making purchasing and support simple for the end-user.

What's included in the 2-Finger 85 UR kit?

The goal of this kit is to reduce the uncertainties related to fitting the Gripper onto the robot arm. In fact, we provide all you need to install the gripper on the robot. From communication cables to fixturing and installation software.

- Mechanical coupling (with UR bolt pattern)

- 10 m device cable

- RS485 to USB communication adapter

- All required screws

- USB stick with software drivers for UR

How to install: we also provide an installation video that will show you how to attach your Gripper faster and with more ease. Note that the Gripper doesn't need an external controller or power supply. 

Target Applications

2 finger robot gripper machine tendingAs for most collaborative robot tasks, the Gripper has been designed for machine tending, pick-n-place and assembly tasks. These applications can be done easily with this gripper because of all its specifications. In fact at only 850 g and with a 5 kg recommanded payload, it has a really good weight to payload ratio. This means you don't have to handicap your robot with a massive gripper in order to lift (relatively) heavy parts. Also with a grip force from 60 to 200 N, a lot of different applications can be accomplished.
