Open close the 140 gripper from Denso pendant in manual

DHenson 2017-09-25

I have a Denso VS068 with RC8 controller and the 2F-140 gripper.

How do I open and close the gripper from the teach pendant in manual mode? I have no issues programming the gripper to open close in auto mode.

Thanks in advance for the help

@dhenderson I have limited experience with the Denso personally but we do ave a blog post on the 2-Finger Denso integration that explains most of it. Have you looked into that?

If it doesn't answer the problem, we should contact someone at Denso.

Best,

Just re-tagging to make sure @DHenson sees the response.

Thanks for the input on this.

As a work around for this issue I have setup 2 programs - 1 to open the gripper, 1 to close the gripper - which I use by switching to run mode then back to teach mode. I set the open position parameter to only open wide enough to get into position. Not ideal but it works.

Would be much better to be able to open and close while in teach mode.
