set_position Method

XenseGripper.set_position(self, position, vmax=80.0, fmax=27.0)

Sets the target position of the gripper.

Parameters:

• position (float) – Target position of the gripper in millimeters (mm). Must be within the range (0, 85). 85 mm indicates fully open, 0 mm indicates fully closed.

• vmax (float, optional) – Maximum movement speed in millimeters per second (mm/s). Must be within the range (0, 350). Default value is 80 mm/s.

• fmax (float, optional) – Maximum output force in Newtons (N). Must be within the range (0, 60). Default value is 27 N.

Raises:

ValueError – Triggered when any input parameter exceeds its allowed physical limit range.
