Grippers integrate distance and presence sensor.

SCHUNK has enlarged its vast modular system of grippers again. As the first ever standardized gripper, the PGN-plus universal gripper, and the MPG-plus gripper for small components from SCHUNK are now equipped with an integrated distance and presence sensor. With the new OAS, both modules quickly transform into seeing" grippers without needing an expensive vision system. The optical system can be...
