ELECTRIC PARALLEL GRIPPER GPE – PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

The electric parallel gripper GPE is designed for interior and exteriorclamping. The home position can be set so that the gripper is open orclosed.The GPE is driven by a brushless, electronically commutated DC motor. It is driven by a toothed belt on a ball screw. This enables fast, low-noise opening and closing (a plastic cushion provides end position shock absorp- tion). To protect the gripper against soiling, the mechanism is closed.The GPE has a rugged, low-friction clamping jaw guide which absorbs themain forces of cylinder rolls. The grippers are extremely compact and havetwo bore holes for inductive proximity switches for end position detection. The fastening elements for the proximity switches are included in the scope of delivery. The supplied cable is 3 m long, internally wired and permanently fastened to the device with a screwed cable gland and strain relief. The cable is attached to the supplied plug-in terminals of the ECMR controller.Default values for force and speed can be stored using commissioningsoftware and selected via digital inputs on the ECMR independently of each other.
