DIY a Food-Grade Soft Gripper for Your Delta X S Robot for Just... $10

Welcome to the first video in our series of tutorials for applications with the Delta X S Robot.

In this tutorial, we're using food-safe liquid silicone, specifically Moulding Silicone Rubber, to create a soft gripper. This material is readily available on most e-commerce platforms, so I won't be providing a purchase link here. I purchased it in Vietnam for only $10, and I've been quite satisfied with the quality.

To follow along with this video, you'll need a 3D printer (FDM is recommended over SLA). Having a CNC aluminum milling machine and an air compressor would certainly be beneficial, but not necessary.

All necessary 3D files can be found at this link: https://grabcad.com/library/soft-grip...

For the demonstration video, I used the following equipment: a Delta X S V5 D800 4-axis robot, a Basler camera, two conveyors, one encoder, several vacuum pumps, and a few accessories. The program was written in Python using the PyQt5 and OpenCV libraries.
