How to Convert your 2-F85 to a 2-F140

We have recently release the 2-Finger 140 Adaptive Gripper. This Gripper was designed to achieve tasks that require a wider stroke than our popular 2-Finger 85 Adaptive Gripper. However, both Grippers have the same base. Their casing, motors and other internal devices are also the same. The main difference is the finger configuration. As we wanted our current users to be able to upgrade their Gripper(s) to a wider stroke, we now offer a conversion kit. Here's how to convert your 2-Finger 85 into a 2-Finger 140.
