Hi all

I have read this post regarding multi gripper set-up on UR with the adaptive gripper:

https://dof.robotiq.com/discussion/661/yes-we-now-support-two-grippers-on-one-ur-arm

I have two Hand-e grippers which I want to control with one UR5 controller.

As I have understood I need a signal splitter as shown in the attached figure.

Does the multi gripper set-up works with multi hand-e grippers on the newest UR Cap

Hi @MKS_Tech

Yes it will work with the lates URCap. In fact it has been a long time since our URCap and multi grippers are compatible. We can go up to 4 grippers.
The splitter and the adapter plate is now sold in the dual gripper kit. 2F, Hand-E and Vacuum grippers are compatible in a multi gripper application.

Let me know if you need more details.

Regards.
