Pick and place round battery cells precisely and reliably with the RCG from SCHUNK. Pair with other automation technologies for a tailor-made solution for your application.
Picking and placing batteries quickly and precisely is critical in e-mobility applications. With the RCG, the battery cell is held by a strong permanent magnet inside the round cell gripper. The permanent magnet is activated pneumatically by the change of its position in the piston chamber. The permanent magnet is moved towards or away from the workpiece via a pneumatic piston, thereby "activating" or "deactivating" it.
Pairing effective technologies like the RCG together with other automation equipment like linear actuators and compensation units from SCHUNK offers a unique solution for picking and placing from row arrangements to completed cell clusters in a battery pack.
Take advantage of the benefits
- Compact overall dimensions
the individual gripper enables maximum packing density of battery cells - Maximum process reliability
through sensory workpiece and status detection - Avoidance of workpiece loss
thanks to the integrated gripping force maintenance, even in the event of energy loss - Protection of the battery cell
by means of an insulating layer between the gripper and the battery cell - Short project implementation times
as the RCG gripper, which is perfectly tailored to round cells, is a standard product
