Safe automation without compressed air with magnetic E-gripper

The E-gripper is an end-of-arm tool for robots and manipulators in the automotive and steel processing industries. It is electrically switchable without the use of compressed air and suitable for lifting, lifting or positioning ferromagnetic products such as sheet steel in the automotive and steel processing industries, among others. https://www.goudsmitmagnetics.com/en-...

This system complements the current generation of pneumatically-controlled magnetic grippers. The end-of-arm tool can be attached to robots and manipulators and holds a steel sheet or other product once gripped firmly in place, even during pick and place operations. The energy-efficient magnet system has a bi-stable design, ensuring process safety even in the event of a power failure, emergency stop or malfunction. With its durable plug-and-play design, the safe E-gripper requires low energy consumption and eliminates the need for costly compressed air; something that is required with current generation magnetic grippers. The gripper is mechatronically constructed and contains no moving parts; this makes it wear-resistant. Even ten million circuits are no problem. Installation on, for example, a robot arm or manipulator is easy thanks to the plug-and-play design and accompanying manual. This animation shows you how it works
