The pneumatic positioning device is an accessory for pneumatic grippers. Together with a position sensor, any positions of the gripper fingers can be approached in addition to the end positions (gripper open and gripper closed). Four integrated high-speed 2/2 valves together with the integrated electronics ensure a closed control loop.

For seamless interaction between the PPD and PLC control, function modules for the programming interfaces of leading manufacturers are available. This means that the PPD's range of functions can be used directly without any additional programming effort and programming of the application can be started immediately. PLC compatibility: Siemens TIA Portal (IO-Link), Beckhoff TwinCAT (IO-Link) and Allen Bradley Studio 5000 Logix Designer (IO-Link).
Application example
Application example
Flexible and cycle-time-optimized handling of prismatic battery cells during the assembly of battery modules. The PHL long-stroke gripper handles cell formats of various dimensions. By using the PPD pneumatic positioning unit, the gripper fingers can be pre-positioned cell-specifically to save cycle time and avoid collisions in narrow deposit positions when opening the gripper fingers.
