Design and Operating Principle
Servo control turns the gripper into a programmable axis: jaws can approach quickly, slow before contact and stop at exact positions for different part sizes.
The GRR chassis is designed for impact and shock loads, so the electric version keeps that ruggedness.
Choosing the motor lets users standardise on their existing servo platform and drives.
Integration and Selection
Select motor and drive compatible with the controller, and program positions and speeds for each part. Use feedback for part verification.
Check moments for long jaw tooling.
