Sectional diagram
The Co-act EGP-C gripper is electrically driven and has an integrated current limitation and collision protective cover. The current limitation ensures that the gripping force does not exceed a defined value. The collision protective cover serves for minimizing the risk of injury during the use in collaborative operations.

Observation of the gripping force in collaborative operation
The "gripping force" specification in the catalog refers to the arithmetic sum o the forces acting on each jaw individually at distance P (see illustration). For evaluation of the biomechanical limit values in accordance with ISO/TS 15066, only the gripping force acting on each gripper jaw must be used. Furthermore, the information in the operating manual is referred to.

Simple assembly of the Co-act EGP-C
The Co-act EGP-C gripper was developed for simple assembly on collaborative robots (cobots). During assembly, the enclosed adapter plate has to be fastened with the supplied fastening material to the flange of the cobot. Subsequently, the gripper can be fastened with the enclosed hexagon socket wrench to the adapter flange. Finally, the electric connection (not version KETI) must be established.

The standard Co-act gripper EGP-C is available for a wide range of collaborative robots (cobots) from a variety of manufacturers including KUKA, Universal Robots and FANUC. The gripper has been pre-configured in a way that it can be mounted directly electrically and mechanically onto the cobots. Depending on the manufacturer, different versions are also available depending on the flange version.

Co-act EGP-C for Universal Robots
For the robots of the manufacturers Universal Robots and Techman Robot, two variants of the Co-act EGP-C gripper are available. The variants -URID or -TMID use the tool interface of the robot for feed-through of the signals to the robot control system. However, this variant does not have a light band. The light band including the free actuation cannot be used for the variant with external cable routing.
