Gripper Tip Test

Connecting the Gripper

Make sure the gripper board is resting securely on the table. Plug the power and etherCAT cable into the gripper board board.

Installing Tips

Set each pair of gripper tips in the fixture and connect the cable to the gripper.

Note the orientation of the cable going to the tip sensor in the picture below.

Testing the Gripper

You will be asked to enter the four-digit ID of the gripper at a prompt. The ID code is on the back of the sensor, and visible in the picture above.

When prompted, you will be asked to touch each sensor of the fingertips. After you touch each sensor, a display will turn from red to green. After all panels are green, you can pass the gripper.

Press 'Continue' to proceed.
