OnRobot RG2 Gripper-Mitja GOLOB-10-30-2019

Hello!

I wonder if it is possible to use the OnRobot RG2 Colaborative Gripper in a RoboDK environment. I couldn't find it in the RoboDK Tool Library.

Thanks.

Best Regards,
Mitja

Hi Mitja,

We don't have this gripper in our library but you can easily create robot tools as explained here:

Hello!

Thanks for the reply!

Description from the UR website: The movement and force of the RG2 gripper can be controlled by the user. The control is done directly on the Universal Robots user interface.
I wonder if this (movement and force control) can be done inside the RoboDK environment and how?

Best Regards,
Mitja


RE: OnRobot RG2 Gripper-Albert-11-04-2019

Hi Mitja,

Yes, this is possible. I recommend you to customize a post processor based on the default UR post and use a program call passing the gripper status variables to move the gripper.
//www.sinclairbody.com/doc/en/Post-Processors.html#SelectPost

You'll find an example of an integration with RobotiQ grippers (Universal Robots RobotiQ post processor). You'll see that in the header it outputs the code/functions to control the gripper.

Hello!

Thanks.

Maybe another short question here: We would like to use the so-called 'force mode' (UR Robots). Can this mode be used in simulation? I suppose that we can't use this in the simulation.

Best Regards,
Mitja

Hi Mitja,

No it's not possible to o see force mode in simulation, but you can modify the post processor so that it can output the right force mode command for the UR controller.
Have a great day.
