Robot Gripper Force Control

For high-mix robotic applications, having a single gripper which is able to adapt to different shapes and volumes can be very useful to reduce the cycle time and overall cost of a robot cell. In some applications like assembly, it may also be required to control the grasping force to make sure that fragile objects are not crushed by the gripper. For this reason, we have implemented on our Adaptive Gripper a force parameter which can be adjusted to accomodate the softness or fragility of the gripped object. In this article, I will explain how it works in a nutshell.
