Free choice: pneumatic or electric
The SCHUNK PGN-plus-Electric transfers the powerful features of its pneumaticuniversal gripper to the world ofmechatronic gripping system components. Like the gripper it is modelled on, it features modified multi-tooth guidance for absorbing higher moments, continuous lubricant pockets in the guide contour and a proven wedge hook kinematics with high surface coverage in all stroke positions. The mechatronic universal gripper is driven by a brushless DC servomotor. With the mechatronic universal gripper the change from pneumatic to electric components is especially easy: not only does it have the same screw connection pattern as its pneumatic counterpart - the 24V gripper is also controlled by means of convenient digital I/O. Also, an additional M8 standard connection allows monitoring of up to two gripping positions. The required control and power electronics are already completely integrated in the compact module, so that no extra space is needed in the control cabinet. The gripping force of the SCHUNK PGN-plus-Electric is adjustable in four stages. The gripper will initially be available in size 80. Other sizes are planned.
