In the words of Kenneth Henriksen, Sales Director for OnRobot in Europe, the RG6 "was developed following extensive research among our distributors worldwide. The RG6 expands upon the capabilities of the RG2, providing an easy-to-use gripper ideal for handling much larger objects. It is powerful and strong, as requested by many customers, yet remains as simple, easy to install, and safe as the RG2, with no external cables and infinite rotation of the end joint, making it as flexible and agile as the robotic arm itself.".
Like the RG2, the RG6 is an electric gripper, not a traditional compressed-air solution that takes up a lot of space, consumes a lot of energy, and is too complicated for many users. Compatible with all Universal Robots cobot arms, the RG6—which mounts to the arm with pre-installed safety features—is quick and easy to install, allowing operators to rapidly modify the assembly on the factory floor without the assistance of an engineer.
In addition to increased force, stroke, and payload, the RG6 includes many of the same features as the RG2:
• Simple and intuitive programming that allows operators to easily choose what they need the gripper to do, with the gripper responding with a flexible movement.
• Customizable fingertips to suit production requirements
. • Dual gripper support without the need for additional wiring.
• Assisted center of gravity calculation that allows users to input the payload weight and let the robot calculate the rest. This simplifies programming, improves overall productivity, and enhances safety by enabling more precise robot arm movements.
• Automatic tool center point (TCP) calculation based on how the robot arm moves around an object's calculated TCP, depending on the gripper's mounted position, for easier programming and use.
• Continuous gripping indication that allows the gripper to detect any lost or deliberately removed objects.
