How make a non parallel gripper work ?

#1
I have modeled a non parallel gripper and i would like it to be add to the program in order to simulate it's movement can someone help,
thanks.

You can create a gripper or other mechanisms by selecting Tools, then, Model Mechanism or Robot. More information here:
https://robodk.com/doc/en/General.html#ModelRobot

On the other hand, non parallel grippers are officially not supported. You could model your specific gripper by making a plugin or a custom script.

So if i want to make a gripper that rotate and closes like robotiq gripper is currently not supported?why?

i mean u guys have made an incredible work the program is amazing non the less but this little feature in my opinion is way easier than what u have done so will we be seeing the update for such feature soon?

Special grippers like the RobotiQ are very special as they have complex kinematics. This type of gripper can only be added on our end.

I recommend you to look at the Plugin Interface if you want to model grippers or special mechanisms yourself:

Hi there,

just stumbled upon this thread and want to ask something about the robotiq-2f-140 gripper.

It seemd that in the model library, the robotiq-2f-140 mechanism model uses a "shorter" inner finger pad mesh compared with the robotiq-2q-140 tool (closed) model. And according to the mechanical drawing, the mesh used in the robotiq-2f-140 toll model is more accurate. It would be nice to update the mechanism model, since the correct mesh size would really help when collision checking is enabled. Thanks!

Do you mean that the official RobotiQ-2F-140 gripper in the RoboDK library is not accurate? If so, can you provide us with the correct 3D model? We can update it.
