Features of the NSR-PG-10-20-UR Precision Parallel Gripper
• At 175 grams, it the lightest and smallest electric parallel gripper available for UR robots.
• It installs with one connection to the tool I/O port; no external cables needed.
• Finger positions are teachable: Manually move fingers to the desired positions and set them using the UR teach pendant.
• Factory-installed fingers are easily removed, exchanged and modified to suit a variety of part shapes.
• The gripper can be quickly taught and re-taught using the URCaps application included with the gripper, and UR Polyscope scripts that control the robot.

The NSR-PG-10-20-UR gripper finger stroke is 20 mm for high flexibility in agile manufacturing environments. The gripper can measure part size with 30 micrometer precision. The maximum recommended part mass is 100 grams.

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.
