This how-to is intended for the Robotiq 2-Finger 85 3.X.X, the Robotiq FT-150 1.X and any UR using controller CB2 / CB3
You have a video that explain all the following below
What you need :
- Robotiq UR combo kit for 2-Finger 85 / FT-150 (includes all cables and hardware)
- UR 3, 5 or 10 robot with controller CB2 or CB3
- Metric Allen key set (3, 4, 5 mm)
- 2 mm slotted screwdriver
How to do it :
Mechanical installation :
- Insert the provided 6 mm dowel pin into the UR wrist
- Mount the FT-150 adapter plate on the UR wrist, fix with the provided M6 x 10 mm screws
- Mount the FT-150 on the adapter plate, fix with the provided M4 x 35 mm screws
- Insert the provided 6 mm dowel pin into the FT-150 tool side flange
- Mount the 2-Finger 85 coupling on the FT 150 tool side flange, fix with the provided M4 x 10 mm screws
- Mount the 2-Finger 85 on it's coupling, fix with the provided M5 x 35 mm screws
Electrical installation :
- Connect the 2-Finger 85 pigtail cable to the device cable (straight one)
- Connect the FT-150 connector to the device cable (angled one)
- Pass your cable along the robot arm, make sure you have enough cable forgiveness to allow the UR to move freely in all directions. Attach with tie-wrap (or any cable holding system, may look better then tie-wraps...)
- For both cables, wire the RS-485 to USB converter and wire the power to the UR controller according to this schematic :
- Note : USB converters will be plugged into a single USB hub splitter
Software setup :
- Get the driver package for Robotiq Gripper & Sensor at support.robotiq.com (look into each of the product section)
- For each of the two drivers, unzip on a USB stick, plug into the UR, install is automatic
