Application
The PG01 is a timing-controlled, electrical parallel gripper. It is mainly used in educational applications and not suitable for manufacturing.
The Gripper operates on +24V DC supply voltage and 24V signal voltage.
- If the signal is high, the gripper motor will turn over for a set amount of time to open the jaws.
- If the signal is low, the gripper motor will turn over for a set amount of time to close the jaws.
After the gripper has closed a small holding current thrugh the motor will ensure that the gripper grips the object.
Mechanical Integration
- The gripper is fixed with M4 screws to the flange of the robolink robot arm.
- The cable to the gripper has to be routed, so that it does not catch or get stuck during operation.
