PZH-plus:
Powerhouse with long Stroke
When components of different sizes have to be handled alternately, conventional centric grippers quickly reach their limits. In order to cover the whole spectrum of components, gripper fingers or complete grippers have to be exchanged over and over again. The competence leader in clamping technology and gripping systems, SCHUNK, offers a highly efficient alternative: the innovative Long Stroke Gripper PZH-plus. The belt drive disposes of a long stroke, and the exchange of top jaws or grippers are now obsolete.

Compact Valve Boxes are the pace-makers
Seamlessly integrated micro valves have the best potential for achieving high performance in handling. For direct attachment to the PGN-plus universal gripper, SCHUNK now offers a compact valve box, which helps to increase actuation speed by up to 100 percent. At higher cycle rates, a reduction of the cycle time by 20 ms for 3 months saves a complete shift. At the same time, the valve box reduces the compressed air consumption and in turn reduces energy costs. Even existing handling systems can be easily retrofitted with the module.

Angular and Parallel Gripper in one Unit
The angular parallel gripper GAP from SCHUNK combines the advantages of two principles of gripping. Depending on the design, the gripper disposes of an opening angle between 30° and 180°. The parallel movement assures maximum precision and a high gripping force between 80 and 340 N on the last few millimeters. Workpieces with an overhang or interfering contours can be gripped without problems. In contrast to conventional angular grippers, the gripping center is always maintained, and even parts with various diameters can be handled and centered precisely.

High tech from nature
Innovative materials will always play an important role for future gripping systems. "The lightweight design offers a high potential of efficiency enhancement," emphazises Matthias Poguntke, Head of Product Management of the Business Unit Automation at SCHUNK. "Lightweight solutions save energy at the same performance or achieve an even higher performance at the same energy consumption. In both cases the efficiency of the overall system profits from it." According to Mr. Poguntke, "This is the reason why the lightweight designs are so interesting for plant manufacturers, system integrators and also for operators.
