Function
The gripper has an integrated motor. The gripper mechanism converts the rotary motion of the motor
into a linear motion of the gripper jaws.
The gripper jaws move towards one another (closing) or apart (opening). Gripper fingers are fastened
to the gripper jaws.
The payload can be gripped in 2 ways:
–
on the external contour (external gripping) when closing
–
on the internal contour (internal gripping) when opening
The parallel gripper is controlled by a higher-order controller using digital signals.
