Sectional diagram

The brushless DC servomotor drives the three gear racks integrated in the slide-guided base jaws via a spur gear unit with rack-and-pinion principle. The spur gear unit reliably generates the gripping force, which remains constant even in the event of horizontal positioning errors of the workpiece or robot, thereby ensuring reliable centering of the workpiece as well as a high fault tolerance. The gripping force is generated without a minimum approach distance, which simplifies handling and speeds up the process.
An integrated absolute encoder ensures that the gripper is immediately ready for use even after an emergency stop or power failure. The gripping force maintenance, which is achieved in combination with a permanent magnet brake and a damping element in the drive train, reduces the risk of workpiece loss, which is detected by the integrated workpiece loss detection.
