1.1.Gripper nomenclature

The Hand-EGripper isa parallel gripper. Itstwo fingersare actuated by asingle motor.

Fig. 1-1: Robotiq Hand-EGripper.

Please refer to the Scope of Deliverysection and Spare Parts, Kitsand Accessoriessection for detailson standard and optional

parts. The Hand-Ebasic gripper unit includesflat aluminum fingersovermolded with NBR.

The statusLED presented in the figure above will be :

lsolid blue/red when booting

lsolid blue when powered with no errors(while communication isactive)

lsolid red if minor fault occurs, see statusdetailsin the Control section.

lblinking red/blue if major fault occurs, see statusdetailsin the Control section.

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.

10

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.
