INSTALLATION AND OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS:

2-jaw parallel gripper, electric, GEP2000IL-03 series

EN / 2021-03-04

DDOC01219 / 0

8.3.5  "GripForce" parameter

The gripper can use various gripping forces and gripping speeds for an optimized gripping process flow. Since the 

gripper generates gripping force from its gripping speed in combination with the amperage, the gripping force setting also 

conversely influences the gripping speed and amperage. The gripping force can be adjusted to various stages. The user 

can set the required gripping force to 4 stages.

INFORMATION

For the values for the gripping force, refer to the technical data sheet on our website 

www.zimmer-group.com

.

This data varies within the series, depending on the specific design.

Please contact Zimmer Customer Service if you have any questions.
