SCHUNK's EGI parallel gripper designed for demanding and diverse handling tasks

SCHUNK EGI parallel gripper with certified PROFINET-IRT interface was designed with an individually programmable stroke of up to 57.5 mm per jaw and a flexibly adjustable gripping forces up to 100 N.

The mechatronic gripper can handle an enormous range of workpieces. Due to its integrated intelligence, even components that are flexible or sensitive to deformation or fracture can be handled gently and reliably.

A specially developed, active gripping force maintenance of the gripper ensures that the built-up gripping force is almost completely maintained, even in the event of a power failure or emergency stop.

The jaw movement can be manually controlled on the gripper in crawling mode, which offers advantages such as after an emergency stop. The "extended referencing" function can also be used to store one individual maximum stroke and to set it as an exact limit on the software side, helping to simplify the programming. The position of the gripper finger, the gripping forces, and the closing speed can be detected and controlled with virtually no delay. Intermediate positions and special referencing for the gripper are also possible.
