SCHUNK PRG Alternatives & Competitors

The Zimmer 2-Jaw Angular Rotary Grippers offer a distinctive combination of features that enhance their utility in industrial automation settings. Notably, these grippers present a smooth stroke configuration with an adjustable 180° opening angle, offering adaptability tailored to specific applications using an adjusting screw. This adaptability allows operators to fine-tune the gripper's behavior to match the requirements of the task at hand.

One of the standout capabilities of the Zimmer 2-Jaw Angular Rotary Grippers is their 2-in-1 functionality, enabling both gripping and swiveling actions within a single module. This innovative design optimizes the utilization of installation space, a crucial aspect in industries where space efficiency is paramount. Furthermore, the grippers' individual adjustability grants operators the freedom to choose between 90° and 180° swivel angles, providing flexibility to align with diverse on-site application demands.

Lesser-known yet significant attributes of these grippers include their potential tolerance for extreme temperatures and compatibility with specialized software systems. This makes them a unique option for scenarios where varying environmental conditions and specific software integrations are critical factors. Such features extend the range of potential applications for the Zimmer 2-Jaw Angular Rotary Grippers, making them a versatile and adaptable choice for industrial automation tasks.

Festo offers mechanical parallel grippers in various designs. They are suitable for internal and external gripping. Parallel standard grippers are suitable for handling a wide range of small parts in a clean environment. To absorb high forces, Festo offers sturdy gripper systems with a resilient T-slot guide for the gripper jaws. Sealed grippers are suitable for handling tasks in very dirty and demanding environments. The precise parallel gripper has gripper jaws with an impressive backlash-free roller bearing. The electric long-stroke gripper is an alternative to pneumatics.

2-finger angular parallel gripper with gripper finger actuation of up to 90° per jaw.

• Double-acting drive.
• Very high performance/price ratio.
• Lightweight, as light alloy and plastic resin had been utilized.
• Gripper mounting possible on two sides.
• Optional magnetic sensors.
• FDA-H1 food-grade grease.

Radial grippers from Festo are available in two variants. The standard radial gripper is available as a small parts gripper for clean ambient conditions. A robust version with a sealing air connection allows higher forces to be absorbed. Each jaw of the radial gripper opens 90°. The wide opening angle may make it unnecessary to approach an object from the side. Cycle times can be reduced because of the opening angle.
