Title
Implementing the tool on a robot to pick up surgical instruments. Used a vision system to locate the instrument. The instrument was picked up from a flat plate.
Pro
It is easy to implement this tool with the robot. Plenty of force, it's suitable for using long gripper fingers. Precise as expected from Schunk. Schunk also offers good support. Air easy to install from my memory.
Con
Looks very industrial, for demos I tend to go with different solutions.
