Gripper Work Range

The work range is measured between the aluminum fingers. The gripper can be used for both internal and
external grip, e.g. by rotating the fingers. Make sure that the offset is included before entering values into the
gripper settings.
External Grip
4.5.1

Finger thickness

In this example, we want to grip an object of 20mm.
To clear the object before gripping we want to set the gripping width
to 28mm in the gripper settings on the robot. Because of the finger
thickness, the resulting actual gripper width will be 19mm, which is not
enough to clear the object. To calculate the needed setting, you need the
finger thickness, which is the offset from the inner aluminum finger to the
contact flange of the mounted finger, in this case 4,5mm.
2*finger thickness + clearing gap + object width = Actual gripping width
In this example: 2*4,5+8+20 = 37
