How to do Product Testing using a Robotiq Gripper

When you are manufacturing a product, you have two main concerns; deliver a quality product and have the lowest production cost possible (to make a bigger margin). If we set aside the profit margin reasons, to deliver a product with a superior quality you have to make sure that the specifications for the product are respected and that the product is capable of doing what it was designed to. Bottom line, you need to test your product. As most automated product testing cells are really rigid, this doesn't allow you much leverage if your product changes or if you want to test another product with the same equipment. This is why a lot of companies are switching to robotic product testing.
