- [What is the difference between the 2-Jaw and 3-Jaw grabber attachments?](https://oceanbotics.com/faq-items/what-is-the-difference-between-the-2-jaw-and-3-jaw-grabber-attachments/) - The 2-Jaw grabber is optimized for general retrieval and holding tools, while the 3-Jaw grabber uses a 3-point contact geometry to provide superior stability and self-centering for cylindrical or irregular objects, such as pipes and valves. Choosing the correct head depends on your target object's shape: the 2-Jaw excels in versatile gripping, while the 3-Jaw
- [Can I interchange the 2-Jaw and 3-Jaw grabber heads in the field?](https://oceanbotics.com/faq-items/can-i-interchange-the-2-jaw-and-3-jaw-grabber-heads-in-the-field/) - Yes, our robotic grabber arm system is designed for modularity, allowing operators to quickly interchange the 2-Jaw, 3-Jaw, and sharp cutter. and sediment sampler attachments in the field. This modular design enables you to adapt your ROV to changing mission requirements—such as switching from a recovery task to a pipe inspection or line-cutting operation with
- [Which ROV models are compatible with the Robotic Grabber Arm and Attachments?](https://oceanbotics.com/faq-items/which-rov-models-are-compatible-with-the-robotic-grabber-arm-and-attachments/) - The Robotic Grabber Arm and Attachment Heads are specifically engineered for plug-and-play integration with the entire SRV-8 ROV series (SRV-8C, SRV-8, and SRV-8X). This ensures seamless connectivity through the ROV’s dedicated grabber port without requiring complex custom configurations or third-party adapters.
