    The document discusses the BarrettHand BH8-series, a multi-fingered robotic hand that can grasp a variety of objects in different sizes, shapes, and orientations. It is compact, lightweight, and can easily integrate with any robotic arm. It has three multi-jointed fingers, two of which have an extra degree of freedom for lateral mobility, allowing it to perform various grasp types. Unlike parallel-jaw grippers which require custom designs for each object and task, the BarrettHand can electronically switch between functions to match the functionality of multiple grippers with just one device.

    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.
