Our standard range of angular grippers includes small-component, universal, large-stroke and sealed grippers with 2- or 3-fingers for safe, precise handling of workpieces with different weights. They can be used in a wide range of applications, from electronics assembly and packaging technology to loading and unloading machine tools. The ability to combine a gripper with elements such as sensor systems, product-specific gripper fingers or plastic inserts offers increased productivity, While innovative design tweaks such as the positively guided toggle drive system allow precise, synchronized gripping for greater process reliability.
is calculated for force-fit clamping with a coefficient of static friction of 0.1 and a safety factor of 2 against workpiece slippage at acceleration due to gravity g. In the case of form-fit gripping, significatnly higher permissible workpiece weights are possible.
Example: - For the catalog-specified workpiece weight of 5 kg Gripping force of the gripper 1,000 N Coefficient of friction μ 0.1; safety factor 2; g 9.81
There are seven different ways to maintain force and/or position when energy is lost.
AS: Spring-closing/IS: Spring-opening The conventional version for maintaining gripping force with a spring ensures a minimum gripping force even in the event of a pressure loss. In the AS variant this acts as a closing force, and in the IS variant as an opening force.
S: Spring-closing/spring-opening In the S variant, depending on the design/configuration of the top jaws, the spring built into the gripper can be used to provide either a closing force or an opening force.
