Festo HGPL Overview
The Festo HGPL is a pneumatic two-jaw long-stroke parallel gripper in sizes 14, 25, 40 and 63 with a stroke of 20 mm to 150 mm per jaw. At 6 bar it produces a closing force of 79 N to 1371 N per jaw with a repetition accuracy better than 0.03 mm. It is designed for gripping large workpieces or parts of widely differing dimensions, and its two pistons act on the jaws through a rack and pinion. The gripper weighs between 305 g and 18.1 kg, runs at 3 bar to 8 bar and operates at ambient temperatures from +5 °C to +60 °C. Proximity switches detect the jaw positions, and a position transmitter gives an analogue signal for any position.
