QB Softclaw

qbrobotics has again used the Mechalogic to create a unique gripper. It seems like a traditional gripper but smarter and with the intrinsic ability to adapt the applied strength to whatever object it is grasping. A secure and precise grip capable of lifting an iron ball without dropping it or a cream puffs without ruining it, you’ll only need to “tell her” to be strong or soft. Perfectly complaint with UR+ ecosystem, coupled with a UR Cobot, it represents a real plug&play sum. Say bye to the long strings of programming, just three words: Soft, Medium, Strong.
Based on a platform equipped with motors, electronics and elastic system, on the rear side there’s a mechanical interface compliant to ISO9409-1 and a standard electronic connector to interface with any robotic arm. The mobile finger is driven by the actuator’s shaft, so it can perform a soft movement to grasp objects avoiding damages on critical parts, or a steady grasp by increasing the stiffness; instead, the fixed finger is directly connected to the frame. The gripper is used by deflection control between the equilibrium position and the output shaft. Thanks to this control, objects of different dimension can be grasped giving the same closure reference (e.g. fully closed) and with the same stiffness for every positions.
