Zimmer Group brings low-price gripper to the market
The pioneer in grippers is now offering its customers a pneumatic parallel gripper in the form of the GPP1000 series.
Zimmer Group has further expanded its product range to include cost-effective yet robust automation components. The pioneer in grippers is now offering its customers a pneumatic parallel gripper in the form of the GPP1000 series. This gripper makes profitable production possible thanks to its remarkably low price, which is a dream come true for many customers.
The new gripper series GPP1000s unbeatably affordable price not only makes exceptionally cost-effective production a reality but also offers 100N gripping force in three different strokes (4 mm, 8 mm, 16 mm) per gripper jaw. This single-acting gripper is supplied for use as an external gripper, for pressure-free opening using reset spring. A few simple manual adjustments are all that is needed to convert this gripper so that its jaws are closed when not under pressure. This means the gripper can also be used as an internal gripper.
Each gripper has two grooves for holding the magnetic field sensors used to sense the gripper's position. The grippers are supplied with a glasfiber reinforced gripper jaw set and the material required to attach them. However, customer-specific gripper jaws can be installed at any time.
To make it easier for its customers to select the best product, Zimmer Group has divided its product portfolio into application profiles. The GPP1000 belongs to the AP1 base class, whose products are designed to handle all the essential tasks with a special emphasis on cost-effectiveness.
Despite its very reasonable price, the GPP1000 offers the same tried-and-tested quality you expect from all Zimmer Group products. With the ability to run for up to 2 million cycles without maintenance, it meets all the requirements for reliable, cost-effective production!
Featured Product
3D Vision: Ensenso B now also available as a mono version!
This compact 3D camera series combines a very short working distance, a large field of view and a high depth of field - perfect for bin picking applications. With its ability to capture multiple objects over a large area, it can help robots empty containers more efficiently. Now available from IDS Imaging Development Systems. In the color version of the Ensenso B, the stereo system is equipped with two RGB image sensors. This saves additional sensors and reduces installation space and hardware costs. Now, you can also choose your model to be equipped with two 5 MP mono sensors, achieving impressively high spatial precision. With enhanced sharpness and accuracy, you can tackle applications where absolute precision is essential. The great strength of the Ensenso B lies in the very precise detection of objects at close range. It offers a wide field of view and an impressively high depth of field. This means that the area in which an object is in focus is unusually large. At a distance of 30 centimetres between the camera and the object, the Z-accuracy is approx. 0.1 millimetres. The maximum working distance is 2 meters. This 3D camera series complies with protection class IP65/67 and is ideal for use in industrial environments.
