The compact, mechatronic SCHUNK24VEGP small component robot with IO-Link enables rapid gripping and placement operations in flexible production processes. Based on the SCHUNKEGP robot, which has undergone extensive trials and testing, this product achieves both high gripping force and rapid material handling.
By utilizing the SCHUNKEGP robotic arm equipped with IO-Link, the position of the robotic fingers and the gripping force can be adjusted in each cycle. This enables high flexibility in the handling process.
In the IO-Link-equipped model, the small-component electric robot meets the Class B standard requirements of IO-Link, with slightly increased power consumption, and can be directly connected to a host computer equipped with Class B IO-Link. The robot's fingers can be freely positioned within each cycle, meaning maximum flexibility, and pre-positioning ensures the shortest cycle time. With four levels of gripping force adjustable via software settings, it can also be used to handle easily deformable parts. Within the allowable finger length range, it maintains a consistently stable gripping force and speed, and a consistent speed throughout the entire stroke. The built-in measurement system detects the robot's finger position throughout the entire stroke, eliminating the need for external sensors. In fact, the system can continuously monitor changes in intermediate position and workpiece size. It features a built-in diagnostic tool for continuously monitoring voltage, current, temperature, and robot status, automatically transmitting error information to the upper-level control system. If necessary, the system operator can save the maintenance interval information for the tools in the system. Because all the electronic components of the SCHUNKEGP robot are compactly arranged internally, they do not occupy control cabinet space. It employs a maintenance-free brushless servo motor and backlash-free pre-set cross roller guides to ensure high efficiency and consistent gripping force throughout the entire length of the robotic finger. Therefore, the SCHUNKEGP robotic hand equipped with IO-Link is a dynamic, precise, and powerful gripping product that can easily solve the gripping tasks of small and medium-sized components.
Strong gripping force, compact size, and light weight
Like its counterpart, the SCHUNKMPG-plus pneumatic robot, the SCHUNKEGP robot can be mounted from the side or bottom with screws, offering high flexibility in system design. To improve the power and energy efficiency of the upper system, the robot housing is constructed from special high-strength aluminum. The ingenious product design saves on redundant materials. This professional quick-pickup product seamlessly integrates with SCHUNK's modular high-performance assembly systems. Meeting IP30 protection standards, it is suitable for most applications in small parts handling and assembly. The small workpiece robot equipped with IO-Link is initially available in size 40, with a finger travel of 6mm and a maximum gripping force of 140N. Repeatability is 0.02mm . It is suitable for handling workpieces weighing no more than 0.7kg . Its maximum mechanical finger length is 50mm. In addition to the IO-Link version, this 24V robot is also available with digital I/O drive.
