The SCHUNK SVH mechatronic 5-finger gripper hand, designed for service robotics applications, grips nearly as perfectly as the human hand. Available either as a left or right hand, it bears a startling resemblance to its human model in terms of size, shape, and agility. Its five fingers can carry out all kinds of gripping operations with the help of a total of nine drives.
Elastic surfaces on the front phalanxes ensure a reliable hold on the objects it grips. The hand can perform numerous gestures which facilitates visual communication between humans and the service robot. The open and closed-loop control electronics, as well as the power electronics, are fully integrated into the wrist, meaning that particularly compact solutions can be achieved. Control can be provided via Profibus or CAN bus. The SCHUNK SVH can be connected with market-standard industrial and lightweight robots via defined interfaces. The energy supply has been designed to be 24 V DC, which is suitable for battery use in mobile applications.
