These grippers come with a long electrical cord with wire leads that connect to terminals on your robot controller. Use the software plug-in to control these grippers from your teach pendant. Then you can use your teach pendant to open and close the grippers and toggle the air blow-off nozzle on or off.

The IP67-rated control box of these grippers shields the electrical components from coolant. Plus, their jaws are rated IP40, so solid objects, such as chips produced during machining, won’t obstruct their motion.

Choose a single gripper for simple pick-and-place operations. It holds one part at a time.

Dual grippers can help reduce cycle times by handling two parts at once. For example, you might use one gripper to unload a part from your machine, then rotate the robot arm and use the second gripper to load a new part.

Stroke width is the total distance the gripper fingers move when opened or closed.

IP30 grippers prevent objects greater than 2.5 mm, such as a screwdriver, from making contact with live circuits. Suitable for use in clean rooms, they are also rated to ISO Class 5. They have one M8 4-pin connection, which brings power to the gripper and two digital input signals to the grippers' controller. All are compatible with optional inductive sensors.

IP40 grippers prevent objects greater than 1 mm, such as a wire, from making contact with live circuits. They have two M8 4-pin connections—one that brings power to the gripper and two digital input signals to the grippers' controller, and another that signals the position of your fingers back to the controller. All are compatible with optional magnetic sensors.

IP64 grippers are dust-tight and protected from water splashing in all directions. They have two M8 4-pin connections—one that brings power to the gripper and two digital input signals to the grippers' controller, and another that signals the position of your fingers back to the controller. All are compatible with optional magnetic sensors.

Connect fingers to your gripper and start moving items. Made of lightweight but also strong nylon, all have rubber gripping pads to protect items from damage.

Finger blanks come ready to mount, so you can make custom fingers without starting from scratch. Just machine the blank’s gripping end to create fingers that will securely grip your specific parts.

When used in pairs, individual blanks have a symmetrical design that’s suitable for most applications.

Aluminum blanks are lightweight and resist rusting in wet environments. They’re softer than steel blanks, making them easier to machine and less likely to scratch your parts.

Steel blanks are stronger and more durable than aluminum blanks, so they’re less likely to break if they hit a nearby object. You can harden them for even more strength and durability.

Finger blanks come ready to mount, so you can make custom fingers without starting from scratch. Just machine the blank’s gripping end to create fingers that will securely grip your specific parts.

Uncut pair blanks can be cut off center, making them good for applications where symmetrical fingers may hit nearby objects, such as when moving around machine spindles and parts trays during machine tending.

Aluminum blanks are lightweight and resist rusting in wet environments. They’re softer than steel blanks, making them easier to machine and less likely to scratch your parts.

Attach adjustable finger mounts to your Schunk grippers, so they can handle a wider range of part sizes and shapes. Each mount has a positioning slide that moves along a rail, which has a scale for making adjustments. Connect your fingers to the slides, position them on the rail, and tighten the knob to secure them in place. Use one mount for as many fingers as your gripper will hold.

Removable positioning slides are part of the adjustable finger mounts. Add additional slides for tasks that require frequent finger changes. Having slides on hand with fingers already attached, makes it quick and easy to retool your gripper.

FANUC-approved or UR+ certified, all grippers have been tested to work seamlessly with your robot. Once you attach the gripper to your robot, download the software plug-in and install it on your robot teach pendant. This allows you to use your teach pendant to open and close the grippers.

Each gripper has set gripping forces to pick up items. Use the switch to choose the appropriate force.

Grippers come with a short electrical cord that connects to the end of your robot arm.

Grippers with LED status ring can be programmed from your teach pendant to display one of three colors based on the gripper’s status. For example, display a green light if the gripper has picked up an item, yellow after releasing an item, and red if a pickup has failed. They include a 4 meter electrical cord with wire leads that connect to the terminals on your robot controller.

Stroke width is the maximum total change in distance between fingers when the gripper actuates.
