Is it possible to have two (or more) grippers connected to my UR5e (SW 5.13)
I want to have a hand-e gripper mounted to the tool flange to pick up parts and do some process. then have a second (possibly 3rd, 4th and 5th) Hand-e grippers to hold processed parts in a first in first out arrangement.
the Robot mounted gripper will pass the parts into one of the externally mounted grippers.
how would I connect the external grippers to the UR5e without the tool flange port?
and how to control them?

Where/how do I configure it and can they be controlled from the URCap?
Check gripper manual for details about necessary hardware.
In the manual booth gripper are mounted on the flange but you can have one on the table and the other on the robot. It will work.
You will probably nede a cable extension to place one gripper on the table.
