Smart universal gripper
Gripper with integrated Profinet interface
Schunk presents its EGL intelligent gripper with integrated Profinet interface. According to the company, it is the world's first category C-certified universal gripper with this interface.
The gripper independently measures and identifies components. At the same time, ongoing production processes can be monitored: the gripper detects a faulty component and decides whether it should be ejected from the process or not. It uses integrated sensors to record and process component data such as size or any damage. After internal data processing, the information obtained and measurement data are passed on to the system control for process control.
