Sectional diagram
The battery cell is held by a strong permanent magnet inside the round cell gripper. The permanent magnet is activated pneumatically by the change of its position in the piston chamber. The permanent magnet is moved towards or away from the workpiece via a pneumatic piston, thereby "activating" or "deactivating" it.

Centerings
The centerings in versions -2 and -4 are used to compensate for placement tolerances when picking up the battery cells.

Workpiece detection
Workpiece detection via component presence monitoring with an inductive proximity switch.
Piston stroke monitoring
The status detection "magnet activated" or "magnet deactivated" is ensured via the piston stroke monitoring system with solenoid switches.
Gripping force maintenance
Gripping force maintenance in the event of a compressed air failure is provided by the principle of the permanent magnet. The magnetic holding force holds the battery cell securely, avoiding workpiece loss, and ensures maximum process reliability.
Pneumatic connections for the power supply
Optional main air connections on the side or direct bottom-sided air connections for space-saving integration of several individual grippers in one gripping system.
Round cells 46x
The magnetic gripper RCG 46 can securely handle all common formats of Ø 46 mm round cells.
Multiple gripper unit
The round cell gripper RCG can be set up as an individual multiple gripper unit in order to realize the specific cell spacing depending on the application. Whether one, two, ... or even several hundred individual grippers.
End-of-line
The possibility of individual control for each round cell gripper RCG means that individual battery cells can be ejected in the process sequence, e.g. in the end-of-line testing process.
Cell spacing unit
Cell spacing units also offer the option of changing the distance between several battery cells during the pick-&-place process. The number of cells to be gripped and the cell spacings are individually adapted to the application.
Application example
Application example
The RCG 46 round cell gripper enables the handling of battery cells with a diameter of Ø 46 mm without interfering contours. In combination with application-specific gripping units, all process steps in the assembly of battery modules and packs can be implemented.
