Understanding gripper.json file

The gripper.json file is a special text file in JSON format that can describe a more complex gripper for Pally. Use this file to define vacuum grippers with multiple vacuum zones, or grippers with special dimensions.

Read more about the file structure and supported features here.

Upload to the robot

Move the gripper.json file to a USB-stick and put it into the teach pendant of the robot.

Upload the gripper.json file as a regular pallet pattern file. Read more about uploading patterns here.

As the file is now uploaded to the robot, you can then head over to the gripper tab under Installation and select “Import from gripper.json“

 

After loading the gripper.json file successfully, the name of the gripper and the timestamp of the last successful load action will be shown below the gripper selection drop-down.

To reload a modified gripper.json file, select another gripper type first (e.g. Custom gripper) and then select Import from gripper.json again.

The gripper.json file can be safely deleted from the robot file system once it has been successfully loaded into the installation.
