We offer gripper swivel modules by default as compact, modular designed parallel, centric, and angular gripper swivel modules. For quick positioning processes of workpieces with different weights in confined spaces. They can be used in a wide range of applications, from loading and unloading workpiece carriers to insertion operations in assembly processes and picking of finished goods in covering boxes. Furthermore, innovative design tweaks, such as the powerful rotor drive, as angle of rotation up to 180° and end-position and cushioning adjustment are combined with state-of-the-art production technology to give the grippers robust reliability and precision, therefore making them safe investments with a long service life.
In the event of energy or pressure loss, seven variants secure the gripping force and/or the current position:
AS (spring closing)/IS (spring opening): A spring holds the gripper closed or open with minimum force. S (spring closing/opening): Depending on the design of the top jaws, the spring acts as a closing or opening mechanism. ASC (certified spring closing)/ISC (certified spring opening): The certified GripGuard gripping force maintenance ensures at least 80% gripping force in the closing or opening direction in the event of a pressure drop. M (permanent magnetic brake): Maintains the gripping force in the closing and opening direction. KP (position clamping): Fixes the current position in the closing and opening direction – via a brake or a pneumatic clamping element.
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
