The Thermo Scientific Servo Gripper is available for use
on a robot or available for stand alone use. The Servo Gripper enables control
of both the gripping force and the distance between the gripper fingers. This
enables the robot application to vary gripping force for different types of
payloads, to measure the size of a payload, and to detect when a payload is
missing.
Product Detail
Thermo Scientific Laboratory Automation Robot Systems require the attachment of a gripper (or other end effector) to the robot arm. Our Servo Grippers are electric, servo-controlled, parallel motion, two-finger grippers, which are typically used in applications that require varying grip distances and gripping force.
With finger travel of 65 mm, our Servo Grippers are compatible with Thermo Scientific Standard Fingers, Microplate Fingers (straight) and Universal Fingers (offset). Fingers are easily attachable to our Servo Grippers.
Custom-designed grippers and other end effectors are also available. Contact Thermo Scientific Laboratory Automation and Cellular Imaging Services for more information.

Grip repeatability is the variation in the distance measured
Single directional: to approach a point always from the same direction
Bi-directional: to approach a single point from either direction
Accuracy is the variation of the distance read - distance measured. Accuracy of is 99.7%
Gauging repeatability is the variation of the distance read vs. the length of a real, known part
Gauging accuracy is the variation of the distance measured - distance read
Joint 6 must have joint limits imposed to prevent cable from wrapping around the wrist. Default F3 robot settings DO NOT limit joint 6 travel
F3 robot with servo gripper is NOT sealed (robot rating becomes IP30)
Voltages are clamped to 12V after 1 second; F-Series robots use 24V peak, which is averaged to 12V nominal
1 cycle = movement in a single direction (definition for this case only)
