SCHUNK stated its pneumatic positioning machine makes pneumatic grippers extra versatile by free positioning, gripping drive and velocity adjustment. | Credit score: SCHUNK
SCHUNK launched a pneumatic positioning machine (PPD) that it stated permits free pneumatic positioning with pneumatic grippers. SCHUNK stated this answer is designed for any gripper utility that requires flexibility, together with robotic purposes that transfer workpieces of various sizes or in shut proximity to one another.
Developed as an adjunct for pneumatic grippers, the PPD is managed by way of IO-Hyperlink. Along with a place sensor, any place of the gripper fingers will be approached. SCHUNK stated this overcomes the gripper open/gripper closed precept. The system set-up consists of simply three parts: the PPD, a positioning sensor and a regular gripper.
In response to SCHUNK, the setup means neither modifications nor particular variants of the gripper are vital. With the PPD, this new dimension of gripping will be retrofitted in an present working course of.
Submit a session summary now to be an occasion speaker. Submission Deadline: December 15, 2023
SCHUNK stated the brand new PPD will allow customers to optimize their cycle occasions 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 drive will also be adjusted with the unit by adjusting the output strain.
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 stated the PPD will be put in on the end-of-arm, which might create a positioning accuracy of as much as 0.5 mm. The PPD is offered in three variations that differ within the stream fee of the internally put in valves. Measurement and weight all the time stay the identical. SCHUNK stated considered one of its personal IO-Hyperlink sensors, or all frequent analog sensors from different suppliers, can be utilized as sensors for the PPD.
SCHUNK stated collisions with intently positioned workpieces will be averted because the gripper fingers are pre-positioned with the pneumatic positioning machine. | Credit score: SCHUNK
