The gripper equilibrium line is the grasping region that separates the encompassing grasp from the parallel grasp. When grasping an object close enough to the inside (palm) of the gripper, the encompassing grasp will occur (unless the object size or shape is not adequate) and the fingers will close around the object.
If grasped above the equilibrium line, the same object will be picked up in a parallel grasp by the fingertips and the fingers will close with a parallel motion. The figure below shows the encompassing grasp region, the equilibrium line, and the parallel grasp region on the 2-Finger Adaptive Gripper.
Robotiq EPick Vacuum gripper#
The Robotiq EPick vacuum gripper is a gripper shown in the figure below. It uses a suction cup to create a vac- uum to grasp an object, without an external air supply, making it suitable for mobile robots. The mechanical specifications are listed in table below.
