End-Effector

The End-Effector is a device mounted at the very end of RaccoonBot and is responsible for actually picking, placing, or moving objects.
The End-Effector of RaccoonBot is designed with a modular structure, allowing various types of devices to be easily mounted and replaced depending on the task purpose.
The Finger Gripper is provided as the default option.
The End-Effector is fixed to the End-Effector Mount and connected to the robotic arm, enabling RaccoonBot to control the End-Effector.
In addition, through the Teaching & Playback function, the End-Effector operations (e.g., Pick, Place) can also be automatically taught and replayed.

⚙️ Note:
The End-Effector is a core component that performs the actual tasks of RaccoonBot, and the Workspace and Posture may vary slightly depending on the type of gripper used.

Finger Gripper

Features

The Finger Gripper is the default End-Effector of RaccoonBot and performs Pick & Place functions using two gripping arms.

This device has the following features:

• Two-point symmetric structure
  The two gripping arms move inward simultaneously to securely hold objects.
  It is suitable for handling various shapes such as small blocks, balls, and cubes.
  

• Modular mounting method
  It can be easily attached to the End-Effector Mount of RaccoonBot.
  It can be attached and detached without additional tools, making maintenance convenient.
  A 4-pin connector is located at the bottom of the unit to transmit power and control signals.
  

• Teaching & Playback integration
  In Unplugged Mode, the gripper operation state (Pick / Place) is automatically recorded, and the same motion is performed during playback.
  
  

Dimensions

Peripheral Device

Peripheral Device is the device connected to the main body of RaccoonBot to expand new functions of the robotic arm.
These devices are suitable for automation practices such as sorting, transferring, and loading, and allow the learning and experimental environment of RaccoonBot to be further expanded.

The peripheral devices of RaccoonBot are designed with a modular structure, allowing various external devices to be easily attached and replaced according to the purpose of use.
Each peripheral device receives power and control signals through the Peripheral Port of RaccoonBot,
and the operation state of the peripheral device is also recorded together in the Teaching & Playback function.
Control signals are provided through a 4-pin connector, which integrates power and control signal lines to ensure a stable connection.

Conveyor

The Conveyor is a peripheral device that works in conjunction with RaccoonBot to automatically transfer objects. (Scheduled for release)
It can transport objects that RaccoonBot has Picked or Placed in a fixed direction, making it suitable for automation practices such as sorting, transferring, and loading.
The conveyor receives power and control signals through the Peripheral Port of the RaccoonBot main body.
Speed and direction can be directly controlled by RaccoonBot, and the operation state of the conveyor is also automatically recorded in the Teaching & Playback function.

Features

• Bidirectional control
  The rotation direction of the conveyor can be switched to Forward or Reverse.
• Speed Control
  The rotation speed can be adjusted through coding or the app.
  Stable object transfer at a constant speed is possible.
• Linked Operation
  The conveyor can be configured to operate automatically according to the motion of RaccoonBot.
  For example, the conveyor can be set to operate the moment RaccoonBot performs a Place action.
• Teaching & Playback support
  In Unplugged Mode, the operation state of the conveyor (rotation direction, speed) is automatically saved and replayed.

Unplugged (Teaching & Playback) Usage Method

1. Connect the power cable of the conveyor to the Peripheral Port of RaccoonBot.
2. Press the button on the conveyor to select the desired operation (Forward / Reverse / Stop).
3. Press the TEACH button on RaccoonBot to record the current operation state of the conveyor.
4. When RaccoonBot performs Playback, the conveyor automatically operates together with RaccoonBot to transfer objects.
