Small Parts Grippers

Schunk has launched BSWS-MPG-plus standardised finger blanks that feature an integrated quick-change jaw system that shortens the time for a jaw change in small parts grippers to under 30 seconds. Compared with a conventional jaw change the system reduces the set-up times by up to 90 per cent. An easily accessible form-fit locking mechanism ensures finger change at a repeat accuracy within seconds by a 90° turn of an Allen key. Since no through-bores through the entire finger are necessary, as opposed to other standard solutions on the market, users additionally benefit from maximum freedom in the design of the finger contour: the entire length of the fingers can be adapted to the individual workpiece without having to take into account the jaw change and the required screw connections. The finger blanks with the integrated quick-change system are available in aluminium or steel. The Schunk MPG-plus miniature parallel gripper is the most powerful miniature parallel gripper currently available on the market. Compared with similar modules that require the same input it achieves a significantly higher output, therefore paving the way for increasingly smaller and more efficient systems. A powerful, individually fit junction roller guide ensures a high load capacity for the entire guidance, as well as minimal wear and a long life. Both the standard and precision version of the small parts gripper are available in sizes 16 to 64 with finger strokes from 1.5 mm to 10 mm, and gripping forces from 25 N to 350 N. The maximum part weight is between 0.13 kg and 1.25 kg, depending on the size.
