GEP2000 Electric 2-Jaw Gripper by Zimmer
"The electric compact one"
Largest stroke in small installation space
Do you require a large stroke, due to the fact that you are operating either a form fit gripper or a large range of parts but the installation space and the load capacity of your application is limited? Then this gripper is perfect for you!
Adjustable gripping force
Using pressures that are too high can damage your workpieces! You can optimally adjust the gripping force to your workpiece by means of the integrated potentiometer or over the control system via IO-Link.
The simplest activation
It is your choice whether you want to control the gripper by means of I/O ports—like a valve—or if you prefer the version with IO-Link. Both have this in common: they are easy to integrate into your control system.
Automatic part detection
The grippers in the GEP2000 series actively support you in quality assurance: The standard values for your workpieces, including tolerances, can be stored in the gripper. Thanks to the integrated automatic part recognition, deviations in the product are immediately detected by the gripper. They can be sorted out immediately.
GEP2000 gripper series
Electric, compact and with a long stroke. If you need a gripper that combines these features, the GEP2000 series is the right choice for you. See the advantages for yourself:
- Flexible positioning thanks to IO-Link connection
- Up to 10 million maintenance-free cycles
- Largest stroke in a small installation space
- Self-locking mechanism for greater safety in the production process
- Easy integration into your control system
Mechanical self-locking mechanism
The standard equipment with mechanical self-locking on the GEP2000 series grippers ensures that workpieces are held securely in the gripper at all times. Even in the event of a power failure or emergency stop, the risk of injury to employees or damage to workpieces and the system is minimized.
Protected from splash water
In order to meet the diverse requirements of a wide range of applications, the 2000 series grippers are equipped with wipers on the top cover and have the increased protection class IP54. Perfect protection against external influences such as spray water and small dust particles. In addition, the sealed guides and food-safe H1 grease are ideal for use in the food industry. The covers and screws are made of stainless steel, which makes cleaning easier and protects the grippers from corrosion damage.
IO-Link connection
The integrated IO-Link connection guarantees the simplest implementation in your communication. With IO-Link as the transmission technology, your system is prepared for the requirements of the world of Industrie 4.0. This opens up a number of advantages for you: flexible positioning, uncomplicated control, avoidance of interference contours. IO-Link also allows integrated querying.
