Datasheet How to pick a part using the Gecko Gripper SP Contact & Preload Lift Method 1 – Robot Peeling Movement: Release Method 2 – Fixturing: It is also possible for users to craft their own custom fixture to assist in peeling off an object if the above method is not desirable. For example, the Gecko SP1/3/5 could grip a panel and then visit a forked tool to slide between, move up and release the object. The fixture design is completely at the user’s discretion. Usage Notes: Because of the Gecko Gripper SP’s unique mechanism of action, it is important to understand the following key...

Datasheet The adhesion force is also dependent on the amount of preload force applied to the s urface. This preload force also depends on the surface smoothness or roughness. Payload force is also saturable at some preload force specific to the material and operating conditions; here maximal preload is applied. • Reconcile Gripper Function with Robot Collision Detection or Other Safety Systems When using the Gecko Gripper with a robot in position control, care must be taken during the gripping phase of the object as to not trip off the robot’s collision detection system. The most force of...
