Mechatronic Gripper Modules

Schunk Intec India Private Limited offers simpler, lighter and more flexible Mechatronic Gripper Modules. The electrically driven small parts gripper EGP, is so easy to control that the conversion from pneumatic to electric gripping modules becomes child's play. Compared with other electrically driven small parts grippers on the market, it scores points with respect to its high speed and simultaneous high gripping force. A powerful junction roller guide ensures high efficiency and makes the gripper a dynamic and high-performance specialist for demanding Pick&Place applications. Since the EGP is based on the time-tested pneumatic small parts gripper MPG-plus, it offers a bundle of additional advantages: e.g., users can completely transfer the sensor system of the MPG-plus to the EGP and convert existing systems from pneumatics to electricity in a flash. Control of the gripper module is the same as for the MPG-plus – either directly (digitally) or by means of sensor distributors (open/closed). Like the MPG-plus, the EGP also can be bolted through or bolted on either on the side or bottom, for increased flexibility in designing the system. Lightweight construction: excess material is avoided on the gripper housing, and internal components made of special high-grade aluminium reduce the weight. This enhances the dynamics and energy-efficiency of the higher level system. Without the occurrence of significant interfering contours, two positions can be reliably monitored by means of an integrable and programmable magnetic switch, for example “Open” and “Closed”. The first version is the EGP in size 40. Weighing only 400 gm, the gripper is designed for workpiece weights up to 675 gm, can achieve a stroke of 6 mm per finger and has a four-stage adjustable gripping force of 135 N with a closing time of less than 250 ms. The company also offers Small Parts Gripper, EGP, Collision Protection Device, Fast Reacting, Clamping Tools/Holding Systems, Clamping Device, Proximity Switch, 2-IN-1, etc.
