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
  • Robust and reliable
    with sealed design and proven guidance particularly suitable for the harsh ambient conditions of machine loading
  • 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 almost 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 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 device
    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 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.
