The On-Board AZ Series Provides a Delicate Grip ●Please prepare attachments (hooks) separately. A delicate grip is achieved by fine-tuning the grip force in 1% operating current increments and implementing a slow approach to the load. Grip Delicate loads that may be damaged or deform easily can be gripped. Test tube Electronic parts The direction and position of the load can be coordinated. It is possible to measure the size of a load. Useful as a Network Compatible End Effector EtherNet/IP, EtherCAT, and PROFINET compatible drivers are available. It is optimal as an end effector for...

Applications Using the Electric Gripper’s “Delicate Grip” Grip Reliably Grip Loads that may Easily Deform or Break. Easily set the grip force, grip time, and speed according to the object being gripped. Safely and reliably grip objects that may easily break, such as glass, and objects that easily deform, such as plastic or springs. Quick Approach, Slow Grip The motor approaches the load at high speed. The motor decelerates just before hitting the surface at low speed. ① The motor approaches the load at high speed ② The motor decelerates when in close proximity to the load, and grips it...
