How Does the Blue Robotics Gripper Work Internally? (Mechanical Details Needed)

Hi @mammadli.h, welcome to the forum :slight_smile:

These are the most relevant forum threads I was able to find:

In terms of key functionality, there’s a geared down DC motor which drives a lead screw, which extends and retracts a piston attached to the pivot point of the jaws (which can be replaced with custom ones).

For easy integration with the single-directional servo-style PWM control that some of our other electronics use, there’s an internal ESC that treats ranges of pulse durations as (respectively) close / stop / open commands. Current measurements allow detecting when the resistance suddenly increases, which provides dynamic end-stops (e.g. for when the jaws are fully opened, or closed onto an object).
