Newest Gripper Unleashes Full Power of Universal Robots (UR) e-Series Cobots
New Scale Robotics harnesses UR’s new high-speed communications interface to increase measurement precision and control multiple grippers on one robot
Victor, NY - June 17, 2019 - New Scale Robotics has released a new precision electric parallel gripper for Universal Robots (UR) e Series cobots. The new NSR-PG-10-20-URe Precision Parallel Gripper takes full advantage of the e-Series robots' new high-speed RS-485 digital communications interface to bring two new benefits to users:
2. The ability to control multiple grippers on one robot. High-speed communications enable the UR e-Series controller to manage more data in real time. New Scale Robotics takes advantage of this to control multiple grippers on one robot. The company demonstrated three of its new NSR-PG-10-20-URe grippers performing a sequence of five tasks on a UR3e cobot at Eastec May 14-16.

The NSR-PG electric gripper is the smallest and lightest gripper available for UR robots. This allows manufacturers and research labs to deploy cobots in new ways, especially manipulating small parts in tight spaces. Combined with their unmatched measurement precision, it makes the grippers uniquely suited for automated metrology of small parts, intricate part handling and assembly tasks, and lab automation involving small and close-spaced trays of lab ware.
The gripper is available for order now from New Scale Robotics and UR distributors. For complete specifications visit https://www.newscalerobotics.com/products/nsr-pg-10-20-ur-precision-parallel-gripper/

Featured Product
3D Vision: Ensenso B now also available as a mono version!
This compact 3D camera series combines a very short working distance, a large field of view and a high depth of field - perfect for bin picking applications. With its ability to capture multiple objects over a large area, it can help robots empty containers more efficiently. Now available from IDS Imaging Development Systems. In the color version of the Ensenso B, the stereo system is equipped with two RGB image sensors. This saves additional sensors and reduces installation space and hardware costs. Now, you can also choose your model to be equipped with two 5 MP mono sensors, achieving impressively high spatial precision. With enhanced sharpness and accuracy, you can tackle applications where absolute precision is essential. The great strength of the Ensenso B lies in the very precise detection of objects at close range. It offers a wide field of view and an impressively high depth of field. This means that the area in which an object is in focus is unusually large. At a distance of 30 centimetres between the camera and the object, the Z-accuracy is approx. 0.1 millimetres. The maximum working distance is 2 meters. This 3D camera series complies with protection class IP65/67 and is ideal for use in industrial environments.
