Tool compatibility

Hello,

I plan to buy a UFactory 850 cobot but I want to use the MG10 magnetic gripper from OnRobot.
Is there any way for the tool to be compatible with a UFactory 850?

Thanks in advance.

Hi Jules,

Our tool end can support IO and RS485 communication. It seems that the MG10 gripper does not support RS485.
Could you send me the manual for confirmation?

Best regards,
Minna

Thanks for the answer.

The only datasheet I found is this one :

I don’t know if it has the information or not.

Another possibility would be this tool :
Electric Vacuum Gripper for Collaborative Robots – ZXPE5 from SMC

Do you think it would work ?
Here is a manual of it and I think page 20 it speaks about the communication.

Best regards,
Jules

Hi Jules,

The control method is not indicated in the MG10 documentation. You need to contact OnRobot for confirmation.

Regarding ZXPE5 from SMC, it is controlled by IO and should be able to be integrated into our arm, but we haven’t tried it.

Why not use our vacuum gripper on 850?
