Gripper Motor Test

Running Test

This test is for a gripper motor and ballscrew assembly only.

Connecting the Gripper Motor

Plug the power and etherCAT cable from the test stand into the cable coming off from the gripper board.


Mount the motor and ballscrew assembly into the clamp in the table. Tilt the clamp about 30 degrees from horizontal. Move the gripper board underneath and carefully plug the encoder and power cable into the gripper board. Do not clame the moving ballscrew assembly. Clamp the case only.

Testing the Gripper Motor

Do not touch the gripper motor

Do not interfere with the gripper when it is calibrating, as it may cause the gripper to set its zero position early. Touching the gripper may cause it to fail its test.

Press 'Continue' to proceed.
