When it receives an input signal, a stepper motor drives the two fingers to pinch together with a parallel action. The unit's housed in anodised wrought aluminium alloy for durability and high resistance to corrosion. An ambient operating temperature range between 0°C and +40°C makes this a suitable choice for use in challenging industrial settings._x000D_ Features & Benefits_x000D_ • Dovetail slot mounting for quick installation and easy compatibility_x000D_ • Parallel end effector can grip a wider span of part sizes compared to angular grippers_x000D_ • Turning function to open and close covers on vials, adding to the device's versatility_x000D_ • IP20 rating means it's touch-proof and protected against objects larger than 12mm_x000D_ Applications_x000D_ • Laboratory automation_x000D_ • Electronics industry_x000D_ Should I choose a pneumatic or electrical gripper?_x000D_ Pneumatic grippers like this one are often favoured in industrial settings due to their superior gripping power compared to electrical alternatives. Pneumatic actuators also tend to be lighter._x000D_ Does this gripper have built-in position detection?_x000D_ An optical rotary position encoder and a slot for an additional proximity switch mean the unit can be programmed to identify and adjust its own position in relation to workpieces.
