4. Control

4.1 Generalities

The Robotiq 2-Finger Adaptive Robot Gripper – 200 is operated from the robot controller (see Figure 4.1.1) using an
industrial protocol (EtherNet/IP, DeviceNet, CANopen, EtherCAT, etc.). The programming of the Gripper can be
done with the Teach Pendant
Info
The operator can control the force and the speed of the fingers.
The fingers movement is always synchronized, movement is done with a single "Go to
requested position" command (the motion of each mechanical phalanx is done
automatically).
Since the Robotiq 2-Finger Adaptive Robot Gripper – 200 has its own controller, high-level commands such as "Go
to requested position" are used to operate it. The Robotiq Adaptive Gripper 2-Finger – 200 Controller takes care of
the regulation of the speed and the force prescribed, while the mechanical design of the fingers automatically adapt
to the shape of object(s).
