Equip your robot arm with all it needs to lift and move items using electricity—no air supply or complicated control valves needed. These grippers have a servomotor that opens and closes the jaws in a parallel motion, like elevator doors, with a consistent gripping force in either direction. This lets you grab parts from the outside or open the jaws inside hollow parts to grab them when the outside is hard to grip. These grippers open and close wider and with more force than our collaborative robot-ready electric grippers to handle heavier and larger items. This makes them a good match for packaging, assembly, and machine-tending jobs. Use your robot’s control program to set the gripping force and jaw position. A built-in sensor detects when the part is picked up, so your arm knows it can move to the next location.

These grippers include a robot mount, electrical connections, and software plug-ins tailored to FANUC CRX and Universal Robots (UR) arms. You’ll also need gripper fingers—choose ready-to-use fingers (sold separately) or machine your own to grip complex shapes.

Unlike collaborative robot-ready grippers, these grippers can operate at high forces. They may require additional safety precautions when working near your collaborative robot.

Grippers connect to your robot’s teach pendant using the software plug-in. Then you can use your teach pendant to open and close the grippers.

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.

External force and internal force describe how hard the gripper can squeeze your part at the fingertips, also called the gripping distance. The less friction there is between the part and fingers, the more force you’ll need to lift a part. Typically, you’ll need a force that’s about 10 times the part’s weight, but an oily part might need a force about 20 times its weight. However, air pressure and finger length also affect the ideal force. Click on a part number and select "Product Detail" to view a chart that shows how external or internal force changes as the gripping distance changes.

Everything your robot arm needs to pick and place parts using a compressed air supply. Integrated air valves let you control them right from your robot’s program. Since air pressure opens and closes the jaws in a parallel motion, like elevator doors, they have enough gripping force to pick up parts in either direction. This lets you grab parts from the outside or open the jaws inside hollow parts to grab them when the outside is hard to grip. These grippers are often used for packaging, assembly, and machine-tending jobs. They also have a built-in blow-off nozzle that clears debris before pickup.

These grippers come with a mount, electrical connections for wiring to your robot, and software plug-ins tailored to FANUC CRX, Universal Robots (UR), and ABB arms. You’ll also need gripper fingers—choose ready-to-use fingers (sold separately) or machine your own to grip complex shapes.

These grippers operate at high forces, so they may require additional safety precautions if you’re working near your collaborative robot.

Grippers connect to your robot teach pendant using the software plug-in. Then you can use your teach pendant to open and close the grippers and toggle the air blow-off nozzle on or off.
