The user has access to the highest level of functionality due to the components embedded in the gripper. This allows the gripper fingers to be pre-positioned at high speed or for dipping into a workpiece holder. The gripping force can be continuously adjusted to the workpiece handling requirement. Workpiece recognition enables full process transparency for the user. In an emergency stop situation, workpiece loss can be avoided due to the integrated gripping force maintenance.
The BasicGrip and SoftGrip gripping modes are available. With BasicGrip and SoftGrip, continuous operation of the motor and thus permanent re-gripping of the workpiece is possible. The gripping speed is automatically optimized to the gripping force setting with BasicGrip. With SoftGrip, fracture-sensitive workpieces can be gripped particularly gently by reducing the impulse forces to a minimum when they hit the workpiece.

1

Smooth profiled rail guidancee
with stainless steel front seal and food-compliant lubrication and cover made from resistant polycarbonate.

2

Fully integrated and sealed control and power electronics
with status LEDs and M8 plug connectors for connecting the voltage supply and communication.

3

High-resolution, output-side absolute encoder
for precise positioning of the gripper jaws with permanent absolute position feedback.

4

Sealed drive train with spur gear and pinion/rack principle
for a constantly acting gripping force over the entire finger length, without a minimum approach distance.

5

Brushless flat motor
for limited space and high torques due to external rotor.

6

Electromagnetic brake
with additional mechanism for maintaining gripping force and position during standstill or power failure.
