Installation
Follow the steps below to install the G1Z gripper onto the end of the robotic arm. Reverse the steps to remove the gripper.
G1Z installation diagram
- Alignment check: Ensure that the three mounting holes around the gripper align with the three mounting holes at the end of the robotic arm, with the camera mounting holes facing upward.
- Screw fastening: After alignment, use the three supplied screws to fasten the gripper securely to the end of the robotic arm.
- Stability check: After tightening the screws, check again that the gripper is aligned and firmly installed.
- Cable connection: Connect the CAN cable on the outside of J6 at the arm end to the gripper communication port.
