How to Choose the Right Mechanical Coupling for your Robotic Gripper?

When looking for a robotic cell, a lot of factors need to be considered in order to make your cell run as fast as possible. When choosing a specific robot, a lot of different configurations can be made regarding the end effector's fixation method. In fact, most of the time when buying a specific gripper and robotic arm, they won’t match with each other. This is why most companies use mechanical couplings or adapters to be able to fix the gripper to the robot arm. This article will guide you through the different lexicon and steps to identify which Robotiq adapter plate you should use depending on your robot.
