Universal Robot Grip Twister

The Universal Robot Grip Twister or Tester is a simple test object for evaluating robot grippers' abilities. Most grippers possess the capacity to grab, take, lock, hold, and rotate with unique shapes but lack concentration and sensitivity. With this testing tool, you can assess various gripper capabilities via twisting and releasing actions. Composed of five components - sharp-edged face, flat strip face, conical face, convex face, and concave face - the object aids in concentrating the grip's power on specific surfaces. The sharp-edged face challenges concentration by requiring focus on the object amidst sharp outer edges. Twisting flat strips tests sensitivity, as grip strength must be carefully applied to avoid breaking at 90 degrees. Conical and flat strip faces evaluate holding power. Manufactured using 3D printing technology, this testing object provides an effective method for assessing a gripper's capabilities.
