The BH8-series BarrettHand is a multi-

fingered programmable grasper with

the dexterity to secure target objects of
different sizes, shapes, and
orientations. Even with its low weight
(1.18kg) and compact form, it is totally
self-contained. Communicating by
industry-standard serial
communications, integration with any
arm is fast and simple. The BH8-series
immediately multiplies the value of any
arm requiring flexible automation.

BarrettHand BH8-series neatly houses

a CPU, software, communications
electronics, servo-controllers, and all 4
brushless motors. Of its three multi-
jointed fingers, two have an extra degree of freedom with 180 degrees of synchronous lateral mobility
supporting a large variety of grasp types.

Why buy a BarrettHand when parallel-jaw grippers are so cheap?

Grippers have two major limitations:

1) Each gripper must be custom designed. Grippers require specialists to design, fabricate, and debug
specially-shaped finger surfaces for each part shape and for each unique part orientation.

2) Unless the host arm will perpetually perform the same task, it needs an infinitely variable supply
of grippers and the ability to switch between them instantly as the part shapes and orientations
change. A robot arm exchanges
grippers with either a turret or a tool
changer. A turret is limited to switching
between 2 or 3 grippers. A tool changer
can handle a large number of grippers,
but at the enormous costs of wasted
space from storage fixtures and badly
reduced cycle times.

Combined with its versatile software

routines, a single BarrettHand BH8-
series matches the functionality of an
entire bank of custom grippers -- yet,
has the ability to switch functions on-
the-fly electronically. The BarrettHand
integrates with your application and
replaces many custom grippers with a
single smart grasper.
