How we Tested the Robotiq Adaptive Gripper

You might look at the Adaptive Gripper and say, "Nice! But is it rugged enough for what we do here?" Robotiq has put great effort to ensure that when we pack a gripper in a box and ship it to a customer, it does the intended job precisely and consistently. Enclosed in the gripper casing are electronics components and motors of the highest quality. The gripper is additionally built on a mature finger design based on more than 10 years of R&D for nuclear and space applications. Even so, before the product was launched, we completed extensive testing of the gripper and its components. Below is an overview on how we've tested for production-ready Grippers.
