Why RG2-FT Gripper?

• The RG2-FT is a state-of-the-art gripper with added sensing and intelligence. It has built-in force/torque and proximity sensor providing very precise automation.
• This enables true collaboration with human operators, supporting them like a co-worker would. Insertion processes can be achieved faster and more precise. This gripper can easily insert pins for instance, where humans would struggle.
• Due to the advanced sensor technology, during assembly the gripper gives the robot the ability to feel when the part has been mounted correctly. RG2-FT offers high productivity, fast deployment saving engineering hours on integration.

RG2-FT’s advantages and features:

RG2-FT is a unique version of the RG series with integrated force/torque sensors and a proximity sensor at the fingertips, enabling you to accurately detect the position of objects.This is a state-of-the-art gripper with an enhanced sensing ability and added intelligence, capable of controlling the robot and itself to achieve what the operator would like it to do, even when the exact parameters cannot be programmed in advance.
This enables true collaboration with human operators, supporting them like a co-worker would and ensuring precision handling hour after hour.

• Sophisticated technology: The world’s first robot gripper that can detect objects using built-in force/torque and proximity sensors to ensure ultra-secure handling.
• Ideal for fragile material handling: Due to the sensitive gripping, this gripper is ideal for handling fragile materials.
• Integrated software: The gripper comes with pre-integrated software that is easy to install and program, so even employees with no technical background can set it up.
• Grip indications: Detects risk of slipping before it happens.
• Customizable fingertips: The gripper can handle objects of various size and shape.
• Detects workpiece: The RG2-FT can accurately detect the position of objects. It detects the risk of slipping before it happens, improving production quality with accurate sensing.

Applications with RG2-FT gripper:

• ASSEMBLY: Provides human-like gripping due to integrated force/torque sensing. Gives the robot the ability to feel when the part has been mounted correctly.
• MATERIAL HANDLING: Can detect the presence of an object and adjust the gripping force even without precise configuration.
• QUALITY: Able to sense very small force/torque values providing accurate gripping. Due to sensing capabilities, it produces better quality.
