Rapid mechatronic grippers for small parts handling
|
|
|
The EGP electrical gripper for small components is set to become a global benchmark for mechatronic gripping. The speedy little powerhouse is as powerful as its pneumatic counterpart. It stands out from commercially available electrically driven grippers for small components thanks to its rapid pace combined with strong gripping force. It closes quickly in just 0.15 seconds.

High-speed assembly with integrated rotary motion
|
|
|
A promising newcomer in the modular high-performance assembly range: the DRL 025 pneumatic stroke/turning unit enables highly dynamic and steady pick & place operations with rotating angles of either 90° or 180° for the assembly of electronics, medical/surgical equipment and consumer goods. 75 cycles per minute are possible. Combined with a double gripper, up to 150 parts can be handled each minute.

Direct clamping via membrane
|
|
|
The SPM plus clamping membrane caused a sensation at AMB in Stuttgart: it can clamp workpieces of varying clamping geometries on all sides in seconds, thanks to its pull-down effect. The clamping force is applied all around the entire workpiece contour.
