Robotiq 3-Finger Adaptive Robot Gripper Instruction Manual

Two different types of movements can be performed with the Gripper. The first determines the type of grip being

used and simultaneously changes the orientation of Fingers B and C as shown in Figure 1.2. This movement is

referred to as the 'Operation Mode'. The Operation Mode is determined by the user prior to the grip as a function of

the size or shape of the object being gripped and for the task that has to be done.

Operation Modes:

The is the most versatile Operation Mode. It is best suited for objects that have one dimensionbasic mode

longer than the other two. It can grip a large variety of objects.

The is optimal for gripping round or large objects.wide mode

The is used for small objects that have to be picked precisely. This Operation Mode can onlypinch mode

grip objects between the distal phalanxes of the fingers.

The is used primarily for tiny objects. This mode is less powerful than the other three modes,scissor mode

but is precise. In scissor mode, it is not possible to surround an object. Here, Fingers B and C move laterally

towards each other while Finger A remains still.
