Robotiq Releases a New Adaptive Robot Gripper with Wide Stroke and Advanced Control
Ideal for high-mix pick and place applications in many diverse industries
Québec City, Canada - Robotiq releases the 2-Finger 140 Adaptive Robot Gripper, a large stroke electric gripper with advanced control features. This flexible Gripper allows a robot to pick a wide range of objects with a single, programmable tool. It is ideal for high-mix pick and place applications in many diverse industries such as electronics, consumer goods and logistics.
Flexible handling solution
The new 2-Finger Gripper comes with a 140 mm programmable stroke and a 2 kg payload. Its built-in advanced controls allow it to detect that a part has been picked, as well as pick soft, fragile or deformable parts without crushing them while maintaining a safe grip when the robot is moving.
2-Finger 140 Adaptive Robot GripperBroad application range
"We have important customers who need a robot to handle thousands of different objects every day for their logistic operations. They were involved in the product design process and some of them have already deployed the Gripper to successfully automate flexible handling tasks." explains Robotiqs CEO Samuel Bouchard.
Examples of applications from industries in which the Gripper is already operating are:
* Handling finished printed circuit boards with different geometries at an automotive electronics manufacturer
* Unpacking bottles in assorted forms and materials at a consumer goods manufacturer
* Sorting deformable boxes and tubes of various sizes for a pharmaceutical distribution center
Fast and easy integration
This new product is officially available starting today through Robotiqs global partners. These high-tech distributors can quickly integrate and train local customers to program the Gripper on Universal Robots using a plug and play kit provided by Robotiq.

Featured Product
3D Vision: Ensenso B now also available as a mono version!
This compact 3D camera series combines a very short working distance, a large field of view and a high depth of field - perfect for bin picking applications. With its ability to capture multiple objects over a large area, it can help robots empty containers more efficiently. Now available from IDS Imaging Development Systems. In the color version of the Ensenso B, the stereo system is equipped with two RGB image sensors. This saves additional sensors and reduces installation space and hardware costs. Now, you can also choose your model to be equipped with two 5 MP mono sensors, achieving impressively high spatial precision. With enhanced sharpness and accuracy, you can tackle applications where absolute precision is essential. The great strength of the Ensenso B lies in the very precise detection of objects at close range. It offers a wide field of view and an impressively high depth of field. This means that the area in which an object is in focus is unusually large. At a distance of 30 centimetres between the camera and the object, the Z-accuracy is approx. 0.1 millimetres. The maximum working distance is 2 meters. This 3D camera series complies with protection class IP65/67 and is ideal for use in industrial environments.
