Mechatronic grippers

Flexible and intelligent
The two new mechatronic grippers EGU and EGK combine all the advantages of mechatronic gripping and offer flexible workpiece handling due to their long and freely programmable jaw stroke with infinitely variable gripping force adjustment.

The right mechatronic gripper for every application

Our range of electric grippers currently comprises four product series that are optimally adapted for use in various application areas in terms of gripping force and stroke. This allows you to quickly find the right gripping solution for your application.

Versatile

For the requirements of modern process flows, mechatronic gripper solutions offer many advantages.

  • Flexibility: Variety of parts, adjustment options (positioning, stroke, force, modes), future-proof due to new software functions that can be added at a later date

  • Connectivity: Added value through standardized interfaces (flexible and simple networking with all relevant robot and controller manufacturers)

  • Process feedback: For greater process stability and reliability due to integrated monitoring and analysis options

  • Independent of compressed air: For improved availability, cleanliness and sustainability even in mobile applications

Application examples EGU and EGK

Double gripper EGU

Automated machine loading

The electrically actuated universal gripper EGU can be used very flexibly for different applications in harsh ambient conditions due to its design and sealing concept.

Connectivity

Communication Interfaces

Communication Interfaces

For easy integration, the two new mechatronic grippers EGU and EGK are equipped with a variety of communication interfaces. This allows them to connect quickly and easily with all relevant robot and controller manufacturers.
Function modules with levels

PLC integration

For seamless interaction between gripper and PLC control, function modules for the programming interface of leading manufacturers is available (Allen Bradley, Beckhoff, Siemens). This means that all gripper functions can be used directly without any additional programming effort.
Robot integration

Robot integration

In order to be able to integrate grippers quickly and easily into robot control systems (ABB, FANUC, UR, YASKAWA), software modules are available that enable their range of functions without any additional programming effort.

Five levels of automation

EGK – Five levels of automation
We have divided our SCHUNK components into five automation levels that are built upon each other. This makes it easy to assign them to the respective applications and requirements.
EGK – Range of functions
Our components comprise features from different areas. Depending on their characteristics, these functions determine the assignment to the automation levels.
