SCHUNK mentioned its pneumatic positioning machine makes pneumatic grippers extra versatile by means of free positioning, gripping power and velocity adjustment. | Credit score: SCHUNK
SCHUNK launched a pneumatic positioning machine (PPD) that it mentioned permits free pneumatic positioning with pneumatic grippers. SCHUNK mentioned this resolution is designed for any gripper software that requires flexibility, together with robotic functions that transfer workpieces of various sizes or in shut proximity to one another.
Developed as an adjunct for pneumatic grippers, the PPD is managed through IO-Hyperlink. Along with a place sensor, any place of the gripper fingers may be approached. SCHUNK mentioned this overcomes the gripper open/gripper closed precept. The system set-up consists of simply three parts: the PPD, a positioning sensor and an ordinary gripper.
In accordance with SCHUNK, the setup means neither modifications nor particular variants of the gripper are crucial. With the PPD, this new dimension of gripping may be retrofitted in an current working course of.
Submit a session summary now to be an occasion speaker. Submission Deadline: December 15, 2023
SCHUNK mentioned the brand new PPD will allow customers to optimize their cycle instances because the gripper fingers don’t have to maneuver to the top positions earlier than and after every gripping operation. The machine avoids collisions with intently positioned workpieces, because it pre-positions the gripper fingers. The gripping power may also be adjusted with the unit by adjusting the output stress.
The unit options 4 built-in high-speed 2/2 valves, which along with the built-in electronics and place sensor, guarantee a closed management loop. The sealed design with IP67 makes the PPD suited to use in industrial environments.
SCHUNK mentioned the PPD may be put in on the end-of-arm, which may create a positioning accuracy of as much as 0.5 mm. The PPD is out there in three variations that differ within the movement fee of the internally put in valves. Measurement and weight all the time stay the identical. SCHUNK mentioned one among its personal IO-Hyperlink sensors, or all widespread analog sensors from different suppliers, can be utilized as sensors for the PPD.
SCHUNK mentioned collisions with intently positioned workpieces may be averted for the reason that gripper fingers are pre-positioned with the pneumatic positioning machine. | Credit score: SCHUNK
