Cobot Wrist-Connected Coupling for Cable Management

Designed to eliminate the need to run an external cable along a cobot arm, Robotiq's I/O Coupling provides manufacturers with a solution for common cable management problems.

The I/O Coupling directly connects any of Robotiq's adaptive and vacuum grippers to the wrist of major cobot models, including OMRON, TM Techman and Universal Robots. Due to the high level of flexibility, manufacturers no longer need to design complicated, customized cable management solutions.

"Connectivity problems are one of the main sources of unexpected downtime for manufacturers," explained Annie Guiguère, Director of Product Management and Marketing at Robotiq. "With our customers' challenges in mind, our aim with the release of the I/O Coupling is to provide them with an efficient, easy-to-integrate solution to help eliminate their cable management problems for good."

The I/O Coupling stores four presets, or default setting options, for gripper parameters, including position, force and speed for Robotiq's Adaptive Grippers, and automatic vs. manual modes and vacuum levels for its Vacuum Grippers. Manufacturers can easily change these presets within the Robotiq User Interface by simply connecting the I/O Coupling to a PC.

The I/O Coupling features industrial-grade components designed to withstand harsh work environments and intensive use, making the I/O Coupling a robust solution for applications such as machine tending, assembly and pick & place.
