▶ Mechanical adapters, to mount the sensor to the end-effector and the gripper to the sensor
▶ Wiring & cables, to connect and power the sensor to the robot.
▶ Software, with example applications and integration to the robot
A variety of connection options
▶ PoE Ethernet connect the sensor to your existing Ethernet infrastructure, power the sensor through PoE and configure it from the browser.
▶
EtherCAT, connect the sensor to the robot's EtherCAT chain and control everything from a single EtherCAT master
Performance
