Options and special information
- Manually adjustable gripping force
With an integrated rotary switch, the gripping force can be adjusted in two stages for the EGP 25 to 100% and 50%, and in four stages for EGP 40, 50 and 64 to 100%, 75%, 50%, and 25%. - Version with IO-Link
The integration of IO-Link makes it possible to adjust the gripping force, to pre-position the gripper fingers and to evaluate the gripper status. - New! Gripping modes with IO-Link
In addition to a cycle time-optimized gripping mode (FastGrip), the IO-Link version also offers a gripping mode with pulse reduction of the gripping force (SoftGrip) for gripping fragile workpieces. - Speed version S
for faster closing and opening times due to the use of a different gear ratio. The option of a gripping force adjustment is no longer available. - Optional status monitoring via external sensor system
The status of the gripper can be monitored by external senors. - Optional adapter plates
Space saving, front-end fastening of the gripper is enabled by optional adapter plates. - KA connection cable
Connection cables with an angled or a straight female connector can be ordered in various lengths to connect the gripper with the power supply and higher-level control system. - Food-grade lubrication
The product contains food-compliant lubricants as standard. The requirements of standard EN 1672-2:2020 are not fully met. The relevant NSF certificates are available at https://info.nsf.org/USDA/Listings.asp using the lubricant information in the operating manual.
