Lift and move items in pick-and-place operations where small particles could damage sensitive electronics. To limit contamination, these grippers have a port you can connect to a vacuum pump to capture particles. Use them with gripping fingers to grab items. They use forced air to move the jaws: one air port pushes them open and another closes them.

Parallel grippers handle most shapes, including square, circular, and angled objects.Circular grippers are best for a snug grip on round objects.

IP54 rated grippers can also be used in areas that may be exposed to water. They seal out dust and splashed water. To upgrade their protection to an IP67 rating, attach a ventilation hose using a connector (both not included) to the ventilation port. This allows them to be temporarily submerged.

Including a robot tool mount and electrical connectors, these grippers come ready to attach to robot arms with standard ISO mounting hole patterns. Good for areas without compressed air, they use electricity to pick and place items in packaging, assembly, and machine-tending applications. All have a servomotor that opens and closes the grippers with equal force to grasp and release items from the inside or outside. Install the included software directly into your controller or teach pendant to program your gripper.

Select grippers that match your arm’s manufacturer series and model number or that are compatible with your electrical connection and signal output. Grippers with PNP signal output communicate proximity with a positive signal, while those with NPN signal output send a negative signal.

Grippers for FANUC CRX arms are FANUC approved, and grippers for Universal Robots (UR) arms are UR+ certified, so they've been tested to work seamlessly.

Warning: Never use to lift people or items over people.

Unlike air-powered grippers, which leak air, these electric grippers won’t release dirt or particulates, making them good for pick-and-place assembly, packaging, and finishing jobs in labs, electronics plants, and other clean environments. All have a servomotor that opens and closes the grippers with equal force to grasp and release items from the inside or outside. A discrete I/O signal actuates the grippers with a set gripping force—use a screwdriver to select the force you’ll need. Since these grippers open and close at the same force and stroke with every cycle, they’re good for picking items of a similar size and material.

To determine if gripper fingers are open or closed, and use that information to trigger other actions, add a sensor. All of these grippers are compatible with PNP and NPN signal outputs, which means they can communicate proximity with a positive or negative signal.

These finger blanks come ready to mount to SMC or Schunk grippers, so you can make custom fingers without starting from scratch. Just machine the blank’s gripping end to create fingers that will securely grip your specific parts.

When used in pairs, individual blanks have a symmetrical design that’s suitable for most applications.

Uncut pair blanks can be cut off center, making them good for applications where symmetrical fingers may hit nearby objects, such as when moving around machine spindles and parts trays during machine tending.

Aluminum blanks are lightweight and resist rusting in wet environments. They’re softer than steel blanks, making them easier to machine and less likely to scratch your parts.

Steel blanks are stronger and more durable than aluminum blanks, so they’re less likely to break if they hit a nearby object. You can harden them for even more strength and durability.

Simply connect these fingers to your Schunk gripper and start moving items. Made of lightweight but also strong nylon, all have rubber gripping pads to protect items from damage.

Attach these mounts to your Schunk grippers, so they can handle a wider range of part sizes and shapes. Each mount has a positioning slide that moves along a rail, which has a scale for making adjustments. Connect your fingers (not included) to the slides, position them on the rail, and tighten the knob to secure them in place. Use one mount for as many fingers as your gripper will hold.

Removable positioning slides are good for tasks that require frequent finger changes. Having additional slides on hand with fingers already attached, makes it quick and easy to retool your gripper.
