Yuan Posted September 14, 2018 Share Posted September 14, 2018 I was working on the pneumatic gripper installation for a few days but failed to troubleshoot the issue. Attached is the screenshot of my intera studio to test the gripper installation. It is observed the indicator on the robot arm was blinking alternatively indicating the successful send of the true/false gripper signal output from the computer to the robot, but the gripper does not open/close at all. I have tried changing the valve regulators to various poeitions, but neither seems to make the gripper move. The position sensor and indicator for indicating the gripper states are working fine, so I think it maybe caused by the malfunctioning of the actuating unit, in which case, the valve and the pneumatic actuator. I also attached the image of the gripper, and the link for the video showing the blinking indicator when I run the program on the intera studio: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1um1xIOn5BM94NiaVSgAPI3vE3Y-6qEbM/view?usp=sharing Could anyone help me to identify the issue and possible ways to resolve it? Thanks so much! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake Hiltz Posted September 17, 2018 Share Posted September 17, 2018 Hi Yuan, The gripper is pneumatic, which means that you need to supply compressed air (2 - 8 bar). It is connected to the open connector shown in your picture. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JUNCHAO Posted October 7, 2018 Share Posted October 7, 2018 Hi Sawyer team, Is there any way to control the gripper force by programming? or does the force only depends on the supply air pressure? Junchao Li Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
