These pneumatic-electric IO-Link hybrid grippers are excellent for users who are bringing their gripping applications into the world of Industrie 4.0, but do not want to forgo a pneumatic drive. A sensor is integrated into the gripper that determines the position of the gripper jaws in the range of +- 0.05 millimeters. As a result, not only is process monitoring possible, but also the identification of workpieces based on their diameter, for instance. Furthermore, a total of 32 workpiece data records can be programmed into the grippers.

We also offer a diverse range of gripper accessories, such as universal, adjustment or exchangeable jaws, as well as pressure pieces that greatly reduce loads on grippers, such as loads resulting from the joining process.
