Robotiq Dual Adapter Plates: Options and Applications

Compare the Dual Adapter Plate and Compact Dual Bracket—choices, compatibility, kits, and limitations.

Context

Robotiq offers two types of dual adapter brackets that allow mounting two grippers on the same Universal Robot arm. This article outlines the key differences between the Dual Adapter Plate (X Dual Bracket) and the Compact Dual Bracket, including compatibility, use cases, and ordering options.

 

1. Y Dual Bracket – Dual Adapter Plate

This standard dual mounting plate allows for a variety of two‑gripper configurations, including 2F‑85, 2F‑140, and Hand‑E grippers. It's compatible with both CB‑Series and e‑Series Universal Robots.

  • SKU: AGC‑APL‑159‑002

  • Available as part of prepackaged dual kits:

    • CB‑Series Dual Kits:

      • CUR‑DUAL‑AGC‑085 (2F‑85)

      • CUR‑DUAL‑AGC‑140 (2F‑140)

      • CUR‑DUAL‑HND (Hand‑E)

    • E‑Series Dual Kits:

      • CUR‑ES‑DUAL‑AGC‑085 (2F‑85)

      • CUR‑ES‑DUAL‑AGC‑140 (2F‑140)

      • CUR‑ES‑DUAL‑HND (Hand‑E)

      • CUR-ES-DUAL-Y-HND-C10 (Hand-E C10)

This bracket provides wide compatibility and is ideal for general dual‑gripper applications.

 

2. Compact Dual Bracket

Designed exclusively for the Hand‑E gripper, the Compact Dual Bracket is optimized for minimal space usage. It is not recommended for other grippers such as the 2F‑85 or 2F‑140 due to workspace interference caused by their geometry.

  • SKU: SOL‑MT‑COMP‑DUAL‑HND‑BRK‑KIT

  • This configuration is available as a prepackaged kit only for the Hand-E and the Hand-E C10

    • SKU Dual Hand-E : CUR-ES-DUAL-X-HND
    • SKU Dual Hand-E C10 : CUR-ES-DUAL-X-HND-C10

  • For the other gripper, you must order the individual components separately.

This setup is ideal when minimal robot footprint is required, but it's critical to ensure sufficient clearance between grippers.

 

3. Kit vs. Component Ordering

  • Dual Adapter Plate (X Dual Bracket): Available in full kits for both robot series and all grippers.

  • Compact Dual Bracket: Available in full kits for Hand-E and Hand-E C10 in E-series robot. Sold only as individual components for the other grippers; no complete kit currently available.

4. Choosing the Right Bracket

When selecting a dual bracket:

  • Choose the Y Dual Bracket if you are using:

    • Any combination of 2F‑85, 2F‑140, or Hand‑E

    • Need preassembled kits for faster deployment

  • Choose the Compact Dual Bracket if:

    • You are only using Hand‑E grippers

    • Space constraints are a primary concern

 

 

Conclusion

Robotiq’s dual adapter solutions offer flexibility for dual gripper setups across multiple applications. The Y Dual Bracket supports the full gripper range and is available in kits, while the Compact Dual Bracket provides a minimal footprint option for Hand‑E and Hand-E C10 grippers only.
