The EGK electric 2-finger parallel gripper for small components brings automation flexibility and process reliability to light-duty life-science, medical, and assembly applications. Integrated controls and plug-ins for popular robots means ease of integration paired with high performance and data feedback.
The user has access to the highest level of functionality due to the components embedded in the gripper. This allows the gripper fingers to be pre-positioned at high speed or for dipping into a workpiece holder. The gripping force can be continuously adjusted to the workpiece handling requirement. Workpiece recognition enables full process transparency for the user. In an emergency stop situation, workpiece loss can be avoided due to the integrated gripping force maintenance.
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.
Advantages – Your benefits
- Versatile and productive
due to the long 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 in the event of 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
