Re: 2F-85 Gripper with Denso Robot

@BenjaminK, For any Robotiq 2-finger gripper on a robot different than UR, you should order everything separately: * Gripper: 2F-85 (AGC-GRP-2F85), 2F-140 (AGC-UR-KIT-140), Hand-E (HND-GRP) * Appropriate coupling (AGC-CPL-063-002) * 10 meter cable (CBL-COM-2065-10-HF) * EtherCAT controller (UNI-CTR-001-ECAT) Remember that the controller does not come with its power source. You will need an external 24V DC power adapter as stated in this section of the instruction manual.

Re: 2F-85 Gripper with Denso Robot

Hello @BenjaminK, The Robotiq 3-Finger gripper has an EtherCAT option. For the 2-Finger gripper or the Hand-E gripper, an EtherCAT - Modbus RTU gateway is required. The Robotiq Universal Controller is perfect for that purpose. As for the mechanical installation, we have a few different adapter plates and couplings available, including a blank one. If you tell me the bolt pattern of the flange of your robot, I could tell you if we have an appropriate coupling for it.

Re: Remote control of Universal Robots user interface

Hi guys, Great news! No need to fiddle with the console and bash code to remotely control your robot anymore. With Remote Access, you can access the teach pendant directly in your web browser. On top of that, you can plug in webcams in the controller and see your robotic cell while jogging the robot. Try it out on the demo robot here.

Re: Patents and licenses.

Hi, This is a really interesting project that you have! You are right, the initial 3 Fingers architecture is patented and protected. You can find the Patent here: https://robot.gmc.ulaval.ca/fileadmin/documents/Brevet/us5762390.pdf Best regards, Nicolas
