SCHUNK’s MPG-plus received the MM Award
With the MPG-plus Miniature Parallel Gripper, SCHUNK brings about new solutions for the handling of small components. Compared with similar modules which require the same input, the new SCHUNK gripper for small components achieves a considerably higher output, clearing the way for smaller and more efficient systems. At the Automatica show 2010, this power gripper received the MM Award in the category "gripping technology" of the renowned magazine MM MaschinenMarkt.

Efficient, flexible and affordable
Components used for service robotics have to be light-weight, but also have to quickly move relatively heavy loads. The industry-prooven LWA 3 light-weight arm from SCHUNK combines both aspects. Its light, rigid design and its efficient drives currently makes it the most efficient modular light-weight arm on the international market. It disposes of a weight-payload ratio which is better than 2 : 1, is able to handle masses of up to 10 kg at full dynamics, and is equipped with a control unit and power supply. The modular arm can be configurated according to the specific application and thus perfectly adjusted to various tasks.

Further gripper sizes for dirty environments
SCHUNK is extending its series of sealed grippers, the 2-Finger-Parallel Gripper DPG-plus is available in sizes 240 and 300 now. The actuation via an oval piston and the multi-tooth guidance provide a powerful, precise, and fail-safe handling of this gripper. Therefore a high machine availability, and consequently, a high profitable efficiency of manufacturing and assembly is assured.
