Robot-Ready Gripper Compensation Devices
Ready to mount between your robot arm and gripper, these devices have standard ISO mounting hole patterns and allow grippers to adjust, so they can grab parts that are misaligned or have different tolerances. They also compensate when aligning parts during placement, which increases efficiency and reliability in your process, while protecting parts and robots from wear. Use them to avoid jams and keep automated assembly, bin picking, and machine tending jobs running smoothly. If you don't see your robot model number listed, measure the bolt circle diameter to determine mounting compatibility.
Devices for X and Y axes tilt grippers and move them side-to-side to make angled and horizontal adjustments. Use them to help grippers grab items on an incline and center items, such as a pin, above a hole.
Devices with spring actuation and spring reset use compression springs to position your grippers. Use the set screws to adjust the force of the springs.

Sensors detect gripper positions by responding to magnets in the compensation devices. They signal whether the grippers are open or closed, and use that information to trigger other actions in your system. Two sensors are required for each device. Select sensors that match the electrical connections on your robot arm. PNP sensors communicate gripper positions with a positive signal, while NPN send a negative signal.
