Advantages – Your benefits
- Reliably grip workpieces even under demanding industrial conditions
by robust design, which withstands dust, coolant, and heavy loads. - Handle a wide variety of workpieces with just one gripper
by the large range of stroke and continuously adjustable gripping force. - Get started quickly and straightforwardly
by a wide range of communication interfaces and comprehensive support with robot plugins, PLC modules, open-source components, models for virtual commissioning, and the commissioning app in the SCHUNK Control Center. - High process reliability even under high forces and moments
by the heavy-duty T-slot sliding guide as well as integrated gripping force maintenance and workpiece loss detection. - Selectively bypass interfering contours and speed up gripping processes
by the parallel approach to a freely selectable pre-position even while the machine is in motion. - Continue working immediately after a restart
Without reference run thanks to a high-resolution absolute encoder. - Grip and re-grip workpieces even in the event of positional deviations and tolerances, without requiring an additional approach stroke
by independent centering and the controlled build-up of gripping force via the drive. - Effectively control and monitor the gripping process
by adaptable motion and handling functions as well as status, error, and warning messages. - Virtually maintenance-free
by the use of brushless flat motors.
Options and special information
- Gripping modes
The BasicGrip and StrongGrip gripping modes are available. With BasicGrip continuous operation of the motor and thus permanent re-gripping of the workpiece is possible. The gripping speed is automatically optimized for gripping force adjustment. With StrongGrip, the maximum gripping force is generated and then stored by the gripping force maintenance. Permanent regripping is possible within an adjustable time frame. In addition, defined pause times and maximum ambient temperatures must be taken into account in StrongGrip mode. Further details can be found in the operating manual. - Gripping force maintenance
In the event of an emergency stop or a voltage drop, more than 80% 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, 100% 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 comes strandard with enhanced protection against the ingress of dust or liquids. 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 output pinions. - 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.
