This control box requires an external compressor and is suitable for high speed robots where timing and a high number of cycles are of utmost importance. Delta and Scara robots are best used with this control box, but also fixed robots in continuous operation that have access to a compressor. Suction cups can also be used due to the additional connection. The grippers are very robust and can be operated at a speed of over 120 cycles per minute without any problems. Basically, the use of this box allows the operation of the following SoftGripping product lines: Educational, SoftActuator and SoftGripper, but is also applicable for other product lines.
On the front, the current pressure can be read in the pressure display and adjusted via a rotary knob. On the back of the unit are the pressure input and two outputs. The outputs control the position of the fingers. You can switch between 3 positions: Grip, Open and Relax. This version of the box lets you adjust the spread of the fingers.
