picture of the Gifu Hand III
The man type robot hand unit for research
Patent no.3245095 and two more are under application
5 Fingers with 20 joints and 16 degrees of freedom
( The thumb with 4 joints and 4 degrees of freedom; 4 other fingers with 4 joints and 3 degrees of freedom. )
Weight 1.4kg
The fingertip power is 2.7N or more.
The frequency response is 6Hz or more.
The man-type robot hand, Gifu Hand III, has been developed as an object for a research of grasping and manipulating an object and operating a machine device, and it is small and lightweight.

Features In order to achieve the movements of human fingers to grasp and manipulate an object
and to operate a machine device, the robot hand is made like human hand both geometrically and functionally. It has five fingers with total of 20 joints and 16 degrees of freedom.
Employing small servomotors inside of the fingers, it becomes possible to be small and lightweight. Moreover, each joint and each finger is a complete module or a unit so that the maintenance becomes easier.

Else
1) If you need to attach this unit to a robot arm, please contact us. We will arrange how to attach it.
2) It is possible for us to supply a finger unit only.
Notes
Since the "Gifu Hand III" is designed for a researching project, it has some conditions as below
Under researching and developing, it may be modified or changed its specification as needed.
When broken under a normal operation, we repair it with no charge on the first 6 months of use. After then, we will charge for a repair.
Prolonged continuation operation cannot be guaranteed. Rated voltage of each motors is }12volt.
