Gripper for small components
Versatile 2-finger gripper for small components for maximum workpiece variety with maximum process reliability
Description
Advantages – Your benefits
- Versatile and productive
due to the large and freely programmable jaw stroke with continuous gripping force adjustment for flexible workpiece handling - Reliable and sensitive
Particularly suitable for the requirements of laboratory automation and electronics production due to the sealed design and smooth-running profiled rail guide - Maximum process reliability
by avoiding workpiece loss due to integrated gripping force maintenance with loss detection - Always referenced
both with an emergency stop and a power failure due to integrated absolute encoder - 100% gripping force without start-up distance
with constant gripping force over the entire finger length due to integrated spur gear - Minimal integration effort
compatible with the leading manufacturers on the market due to a wide range of communication interfaces, as well as PLC function blocks and robot plug-ins
Options and special information
- Gripping modes
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. - Gripping force maintenance device
In the event of an emergency stop or a voltage drop, more than 75% of the originally applied gripping force can be reliably maintained due to a combination of an electric holding brake and the initial tension of the elastic element. If the gripping force and position maintenance is activated preventatively, 90% of the originally applied gripping force can be maintained. Overrun of the gripper fingers when removing the workpiece is a few millimeters and depends on the gripping force generated. Variants without gripping force maintenance are also available as an option. - Seal
The gripper has increased protection against the ingress of dust or liquids by default. The IP protection of the electronics is only given if the plug connectors have been mounted properly. The gearbox of the gripper is additionally protected by a seal on the main shaft. - Interface of the base jaws
When using the intermediate jaw, the interface of the base jaws corresponds to that of the universal gripper PGN-plus-P. This means that the extensive range of finger accessories for the PGN-plus-P can also be used for this gripper, taking into account the interfering contours, and the application limits that apply. - With food-compliant lubrication as standard
as a solution for an easy entry into medical technology, lab automation, pharmaceutical and food industry. The requirements of EN 1672-2:2020 are not fully met.
