    22=== The Hand ===
    33The !BarrettHand™, shown in Figure 1, has three fingers labeled F1, F2 and F3.  Two of the fingers, F1 & F2, rotate synchronously and symmetrically about the base joint in a spreading action.  The “spread” motion around the palm allows “on-the-fly” grasp reconfiguration to adapt to varying target object sizes, shapes, and orientations. 
    … …  
    55Aside from the spread motion, each of the three fingers on the !BarrettHand™ feature two joints driven by a single DC brushless servo motor.  The joints of each finger are coupled through Barrett’s patented !TorqueSwitch™, which automatically switches motor torque to the appropriate finger joint when closing on a target object.  Using the fingers together allows the !BarrettHand™ to "grasp" a wide variety of objects securely.  The !TorqueSwitch™ combined with the spread function, makes object grasping nearly target-independent.

    7 The !BarrettHand™, shown in Figure 1, is equipped with a threaded base for compact and secure mounting.  The threaded base is fully compatible with the !BarrettArm. And, with the arm adapter, it can be mounted on virtually any robot with a standard ISO tool plate, for easy installation and maintenance.

    2828=== Electrical Cables ===
    29 All necessary electrical cables are included in the basic BH8-SERIES System.  The required electrical connections are shown in Figure 2.  An AC Line Cord connects the Power Supply to a wall source.  A DB9 Extension Cable provides the communications connection from a host computer via RS-232 serial or CAN.  A Hand Cable for the particular Power Supply and !BarrettHand™ supply communications, logic power, and motor power.  This cable is durable and flexible, allowing the !BarrettHand™ to be used on any robot with minimal effect on robot performance.  Use the included set of adhesive guide clips for cable management.  Since the control electronics reside inside the !BarrettHand™ itself, no other electrical cabling is required.
