We have 2 types of gripper coupling in the field: Old design: AGC-CPL-062-002 and New design: GRP-CPL-062
What are the differences?
Different thickness (+3 mm for GRP-CPL-XXX, you might need to change your TCP if coming from an older coupling) due to an overmoulded PCB and a strain reliever on the cable for the newer coupling.
Old design: AGC-CPL-XXX-002
- Cable (CBL-COM-2066-01) and contacts are less robust than the new design
- It has -3mm of thickness compare to the new coupling design
- Require Low profile socket head cap screws (if regular socket head cap screws are used, permanent damage to the gripper's PCB will occur)
New design: GRP-CPL-XXX
- Cable (CBL-COM-2070-01) and contact are more robust than the old design
- This coupling is currently shipped with our grippers for UR
- It has +3mm of thickness compared to the old coupling design
- The electronics are over-molded and a seal is surrounding connection pins.
- Allow regular socket head cap screws.
