Add these devices to your gripper to reduce jams and slowdowns caused by misaligned parts and other small discrepancies. With compression springs that let them flex slightly, they help your gripper adjust to reliably grab parts. Apply compressed air to lock these devices in place when you need your gripper to stay rigid, such as when moving a part. They’re ideal for machine tending and automated assembling. Mount them between your robot and gripper. All have standard ISO mounting patterns, so they work with FANUC CRX, Universal Robots (UR), and other common robot arms.

Add a sensor (sold separately) to detect when these devices are fully extended or retracted. You can use this information to trigger the next step in your robot’s cycle. Z-axis devices require a separate sensor for each position.

Locking force is the force keeping these devices rigid while your robot arm moves. To keep the device from shifting while handling a load, make sure the locking force is greater than the forces created by the load as your robot arm moves through its work cycle.
