Hello, I’m trying to make a mechanism for this gripper model Designed on Inventor for my Final Year Project. I’m unable to do it as when I attempted to create links, the only thing that shows up in components is the entire assembly. Is there a way to convert the assembly file such that it splits into multiple components in RobotStudio? Heres my file [https://gofile.io/d/S41V5O](https://gofile.io/d/S41V5O) This is the tutorial I’m following if that helps [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mHSYsoet2NA](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mHSYsoet2NA) ---

Hello, you can split the assembly in RobotStudio. It´s also important to place the components correct relative the RS world origin, and zero the local origin in each component. I have attached a zip-file with your assembly divided and placed correct. ---

Try this instead. [gripper R26.zip](https://tech-community.robotics.abb.com/uploads/short-url/A3OiMbpBDnaSK7uKqOTq8pYO74x.zip) (620 KB) ---

it works thnk you. just curious how you split the assembly in RS? Also the Finger Assembly that you send in the zip file is different from what I had in mind in Inventor can you split it for me in the meantime. Really appreciate your help.

You just drag and drop (or cut and paste) the components in the Layout browser. Then position them correct, use **Merge to Part** and then **Set Local Origin** to zero. I can´t see anything that differ in the last “finger assembly” you sent. ![image.jpg](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex005/uploads/robotics1/original/2X/5/5eec9556b9416138104b26975da1938cce70f23f.jpeg) ![image.jpg](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex005/uploads/robotics1/original/1X/162271dc1a399bbbe59d87fcc417c0cc1f11a418.jpeg) ![image.jpg](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex005/uploads/robotics1/original/2X/b/b7ff920fa00f74bf170375d3a9f22f3b28c81155.jpeg) ![image.jpg](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex005/uploads/robotics1/original/2X/a/a1e478ac4b4596e96650e7d5a8dafb7570eb1937.jpeg) ![image.jpg](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex005/uploads/robotics1/original/2X/6/600a382c5bb9857bbecf05ab7c2ef76dd33ca812.jpeg) ---
