Robotiq Expands the Adaptive Robot Gripper Line with their Largest and Strongest Robotic Gripper So Far
Robotiq unveils the 2-Finger Adaptive Robot Gripper - 200 - a flexible electric gripper with 200 mm of stroke and expanded capabilities.
Quebec, Canada May 29, 2013
The 2-Finger Adaptive Robot Gripper - 200 has been designed using feedback from many automation engineers from manufacturing industry using robotic grippers, who were challenged with the processing of a wide variety of large parts and high changeover rates, in industries such as:
*Automotive parts
*Metal fabrication
*Construction equipment (heavy machinery)
*Foundries
"As with all Robotiq Adaptive Grippers, the goal remains the same: Use a single, mechanically intelligent robot gripper to handle all your parts to reduce tooling costs, eliminate changeovers, and maximize ROI." - Samuel Bouchard, President Robotiq.
Main Features
This new servo-electric gripper can be installed on any industrial robot to provide unparalleled versatility:
*Programmable 200 mm stroke to pick various part sizes
*Three distinct gripping modes - parallel, encompassing and internal - enable the handling of different part geometries
*Rugged design and sealed casing
*High grip force to handle heavy parts
*Grip detection and real-time finger position feedback
*Control of finger speed and force to adapt on-the-fly to heavy or light parts

Featured Product
Schmalz Technology Development - The Right Gripper for Every Task
In order to interact with their environment and perform the tasks, lightweight robots, like all industrial robots, depend on tools - and in many cases these are vacuum grippers. These form the interface to the workpiece and are therefore a decisive part of the overall system. With their help, the robots can pick up, move, position, process, sort, stack and deposit a wide variety of goods and components. Vacuum gripping systems allow particularly gentle handling of workpieces, a compact and space-saving system design and gripping from above. Precisely because the object does not have to be gripped, the vacuum suction cupenables gapless positioning next to each other.
