External Tool Finishing Kit -Instruction Manual

1.General Presentation

The Robotiq External Tool Finishing Kit, is an application Kit that allows you to automate finishing tasks with the combination of a

Robotiq Hand-EGripperand aFinishing Copilot software.The Robotiq Finishing Copilot enablesyou to program an external TCPand

let the robot knows that the finishing tool is external to the robot. The finishing tasks isthen processed with the robot bringing the part

to theexternal TCP,which allowstherobot to control theforce on atrajectorywiththeexternal tool.

Finishing Copilot’scontact offset node usesa point on theexternal tool asa reference to measure wear.With 0.2 mm precision,contact

offset validates the tool’s exact position anytime you wish. If there’s a slight change, the robot program will automatically adapt all

related parameters.

1.1.2.Object picking

The Hand-E Gripper has a single actuator for opening and closing the fingers. It also allows internal gripping: fingers can pick hollow

partsfrom inside by applying pressure with theoutersurface of the fingers.

See the figure below for a representation and refer to the Picking Features section for details on available position commands for your

gripper.

Fig.1-4:Hand-EGripperinternal and external gripping

1.1.3.Setup andControl

The Hand-E Gripper has an embedded object detection feature based on indirect sensing methods. When picking an object with the

"go to" command, the gripper status indicates whether or not an object has been picked, using only an object detection bit (0 or 1).

Whenanobject isdetected,thegripper no longerincreasestheforce exerted on theobject.If theobject isbeing dropped,thegripper

automaticallyexertsmoreforce until theobject isdetected oruntil the positiontarget from the"go to command" isreached.

For more details on the installation, the couplings, the Object Detection, the wiring and the control, please refer to the Hand-E

InstructionManual.

1.2.Robotiq FinishingCopilot software one-Seriesrobots

The Robotiq Finishing Copilot is a software package designed for using the force and torque values read by a force torque sensor

embedded in the e-Series robot wrist. The software interface provides force and torque feedback that can be used for robotic

applications suh as hand guiding, force control processes, assembly tasks, product testing, and much more on e-Series robot. The

hardware counterpart of Finishing Copilot is the license dongle, a USB storage device hosting the product license. The Finishing

Copilot software is used for the implementation of a force torque sensor's operational commands in a user interface and that unlocks

force control featuresand functionalities.
