Ranked Nr. 32 of 236 Grippers
The SCHUNK PZV 4-finger centric gripper offers a robust and precise solution for applications that demand more than the conventional two or three fingers can provide. Its design incorporates a multi-tooth guidance system, ensuring accurate handling even in complex tasks. The gripper's wedge-hook design further enhances its capabilities by enabling high power transmission and synchronized gripping, making it suitable for tasks that require both strength and precision.
One of the standout features of the SCHUNK PZV gripper is its adaptable air supply system. The gripper can be connected directly through hose-free connections or screw connections, allowing for flexible pressure supply across various automated systems. The comprehensive sensor accessory program adds versatility by enabling diverse querying possibilities and stroke position monitoring, enhancing the gripper's adaptability to different applications.
A lesser-known yet crucial specification is the pressure reduction capability for certain models, such as the PZV 160 and 200, when used in a two-finger configuration. In this scenario, the operating pressure must be reduced to a maximum of 5 bar. Additionally, the gripper's integrated air purge connection serves to prevent dirt ingress into the gripper's internals, ensuring its longevity and reliability even in demanding industrial environments.
4-finger centric grippers have advantages over the usual centric grippers, for example when cylindrical workpieces are being stored in tablets. The PZV handles the workpieces in a controlled, process reliable manner despite the interfering contours.
