Introduction

The WSG 32 is an electrical 2-Finger Compact Gripper. It has an integrated control unit supporting the Inter-

faces: Ethernet TCP/IP, CAN-Bus (optional), PROFINET (optional) and Modbus/TCP (optional). Figure 1

shows the components and connectors of the module. The configuration of the module is done via a Web-

Interface supporting almost every common web browser. Furthermore, the WSG 32 comes standard with a

sensor port in the base jaws. Here gripper fingers can be connected with integrated sensors, which are

evaluated directly from the gripper control. Weiss Robotics and authorized distributors provide standard-

ized finger as accessories, which work directly with the gripper control. For more information, please con-

tact Weiss Robotics.
