1.2.Object picking
The Hand-EGripper hasasingle actuator for opening and closing the fingers. It also allowsinternal gripping. The fingerscan pick
hollow partsfrom the inside by applying pressure with the outer surface of the fingers.
See the figure below for a representation and refer to the Picking Featuressection for detailson avaible position commandsfor
your gripper.
Fig. 1-4: Hand-EGripper internal and external gripping.

Robotiq Hand-EGripper Instruction Manual
1.3.Setup and control
The Gripper ispowered and controlled directly via asingle device cable that carriesa 24VDC supply and ModbusRTU
communication over RS-485. Refer to the Electrical Setup section for wiring information and the Control section for control of the
gripper (software packagesare available for control viasome typesof robot controllers).
Info
Robotiq Universal Controller isavailable when industrial communication protocolsare required (other then ModbusRTU
over serial).
A gripper coupling isrequired for using Hand-E; the coupling will provide mechanical and electrical connectivity. Please refer to
the Mechanical Installation section for installation of the coupling, to the Specificationssection for technical drawings, and to the
Spare Parts, Kitsand Accessoriessection for available couplings.
The Hand-EGripper hasan embedded object detection feature using indirect sensing methods. When picking an object with the
"go to" command, the gripper statuswill allow you to know if an object ispicked or not viaa simple object detection bit (0or 1).
When an object isdetected, the gripper will stop. If the object isbeing dropped, the gripper will automatically close to keep the
object until the object isdetected or until the position target from the "go to" command isreached. For detailson object
detection, see the Control section.
