Everything under control

For use in the industry, the SCHUNK Dextrous Hand SDH includes:

• Parallel grip (1)
• 3-finger central grip –
  comprehensive (2)
• 3-finger cylinder grip (3)
• Large 3-finger centric grip parallel (4)
• Manipulation of objects

Design and mobility of the fingers are modular to ensure that the components are available in modular system in the future. Two fingers may switch positions for different gripping scenarios.

Everything by touch

The pressure and surface recognition is optionally taken over by a tactile sensor system (5). Thus it is possible with the gripping process to detect if the object can be gripped optimally or if the grip should be adjusted (reactive grip (6)+(7)). The grip force may be sensitively determined and controlled via sensors. The required control strategy may be loaded as a program module in the memory of the hand electronics.

• Utilized for service and assistance in production without retooling times
• Precise grip with correct strength of difficult to handle objects
• Secure gripping of part families
• Absolute flexibility by regulating the gripping force, speed and position

• Mobile application possibilities by means of 24 V DC energy supply
• Very high gripping forces realizable by means of joint modules with 4.8 Nm respectively 2.1 Nm (approaches that of a person)
• Dust and waterproof
