4.1. Overview
The Robotiq Hand-E Gripper is controlled directly via Modbus RTU using a RS485 signal.
Tip
To test various gripper features such as object detection and force control, use the Robotiq User Interface. To download it,
go to robotiq.com/support, click on Select product > Hand-E Adaptive Gripper > [any robot brand] > Software > Robotiq
User Interface > DOWNLOAD ZIP.
Since the Robotiq Hand-E Gripper has its own embedded controller, you can use high-level commands such as "Go to requested
position" to control it.
Info
The operator can control force, speed, and position of gripper fingers.
l Finger movement is always synchronized.
l Finger movement is initiated via a single "Go to requested position"command.
l Object detection is built-in. Operator is notified after an object is picked once the "Go to" command has been initiated.
The feature also works for lost or dropped objects, and the user can be alerted if an object is dropped after being
detected.
l In case of emergency, auto-release is engaged (open or close).
