Gripper for Small Components

By Guest Author,

Added 16 June 2019

For the production of small parts, there is often an enormous margin pressure. This is why over engineering should be consistently avoided in systems engineering, especially due to the fact that a lot of systems are only used temporarily. In order to expand the scope for designers within the SCHUNK gripper portfolio, the competence leader for gripping systems and clamping technology is therefore expanding its range of grippers for small components with an attractively priced basic gripper for simple applications. The pneumatically controlled SCHUNK MPC offers an attractive price/performance ratio whilst at the same time ensuring excellent performance and attractive construction size staggering, which covers a wide range of applications in assembly
automation and for automation in plastics processing. The quickly
available basic gripper in SCHUNK quality is available in six sizes
between 16 N and 270 N, and maximum jaw strokes between 2.5 mm and 15 mm. Even the smallest size with a weight of only 50 g, allows handling of components weighing up to 80 g. At the top end of the size scale, part weights of up to 1.3 kg are possible. 
The repeat accuracy amounts to 0.02 mm. Despite the entry level price, the warranty is 12 months or 7 million cycles. The gripper
is rounded off by the newly developed and also attractively priced SCHUNK J02 magnetic switch, meaning solutions from a single source are possible. For applications with higher requirements when it comes to cycle times, precision, and service life, SCHUNK
also recommends the proven universal SCHUNK MPG-plus gripper for small components or the mechatronic SCHUNK EGP.
