FRANKA EMIKA Hand Alternatives & Competitors

Hand-E’s high accuracy and 50 mm parallel stroke makes it suitable for precision assembly tasks, while its sealed design ensures reliability in the toughest manufacturing conditions, including CNC machining.

A robotic gripper designed according to the anatomy of the human hand. The quasi-direct drive technology in the HandEffector enables a depth-sensitive sense of force to be generated, which can be used to measure the force directly in the joints. In contrast to other gripping systems with linear drives or cable pull drives, external sensors can be dispensed with and a high level of measurement accuracy can be achieved. The gripper has a total of 12 electric motors and 16 degrees of freedom (2 active + 1 passive DoF per finger, 3 DoF in the thumb, 1 DoF in the wrist) in order to be able to realistically perform different types of gripping and hand movements. The built-in belt drives ensure smooth running and precision.

The ready for series production version of the anthropomorphic SCHUNK 5-finger hand grips nearly as perfectly as the human hand. Due to the moving parts with a total of nine drives, various gripping operations can be executed with high sensitivity. Elastic gripping surfaces ensure a reliable grip on objects. The electronics are completely integrated in the wrist.

• Largest stroke in small installation space
  Do you require a large stroke, due to the fact that you are operating either a form fit gripper or a large range of parts but the installation space and the load capacity of your application is limited? Then this gripper is perfect for you!
• The simplest activation
  It is your choice whether you want to control the gripper by means of I/O ports—like a valve—or if you prefer the version with IO-Link. Both have this in common: they are easy to integrate into your control system.
• Positionability via IO-Link
  Gives you the ability to position the gripper jaws of the IL-03 variant. This means the stroke can be adjusted to the workpiece very flexibly. As a result, you save time and avoid interference contours in the process.

Servo-electric 2-finger parallel gripper with sensitive gripping force control and long stroke.
