I/O Coupling is designed to eliminate the need to run an external cable along a cobot arm. It directly connects any of Robotiq’s adaptive and vacuum grippers to the wrists of major cobot models, including Omron, TM Techman and Universal Robots. It stores four presets or default setting options for gripper parameters, including position, force and speed for the adaptive grippers and automatic vs. manual modes and vacuum levels for its vacuum grippers. Manufacturers can change these presets within the user interface by connecting the I/O Coupling to a PC. The device features industrial-grade components capable of withstanding harsh work environments and intensive use.
