On your marks, get set, grab

Until now, there has often only been one specific type of gripper on the market for UR robots or a universal gripper, which is very large, heavy and cost-intensive. Gimatic has recognized this and has now launched its plug-and-play program as a starter kit for the E-Series from Universal Robots.

Users can select the right gripper for their application from ten types and 20 variants in the range. They grip different parts flexibly and precisely.

The available mechatronic parallel grippers, three-jaw grippers or angular grippers are plug-and-play capable. The starter software for the E-series is included. The grippers are easy to install using an Allen key and have 100% gripping force protection. This means that they are only energized when in motion, making them energy-efficient.

The weight of the compact grippers is only 390 to 890 grams, depending on the size. This makes them up to 75 percent lighter than comparable products on the market and they can be used on both sides, gripping either from the inside to the outside or vice versa. Gimatic offers a gripper finger service for the production of individual gripper fingers.

The mechatronics specialist also wants to offer its customers the flexibility to implement their own ideas and expand the functions of the existing technology by integrating additional components such as a camera or sensors. The starter kit is available in a standard version and a version with peak output (P), which emits a 24-volt signal when the component is gripped. The starter kit is aimed at dealers and end customers of UR robotics. The delivery time is only around five working days. as
