Modular lightweight gripper with long stroke

SCHUNK continues to expand its range of modular long-stroke electric grippers with the LEG 400, which can be used in the metal cutting and automotive industry, along with assembly and handling tasks. This weight-reduced, lightweight gripper is equipped with a servo motor and has a gripping force of up to 1050 N as well as a variable stroke between zero and 103 mm. Having only one motor, it weighs 6.5 kg.

Designed according to the modular principle, the LEG gripper can be equipped with a pneumatic and electric drive. The user is able to choose the servo motor as desired. Robot manufacturers can thus use their own motors and control the gripper with the same set of commands as the robot. In addition, the applicable forces can be measured and controlled with servo-electric drives. If the LEG is operated with a single servo motor, both drive spindles are coupled and the fingers move synchronously. With two motors on the other hand, the fingers can move to any position in the gripping range independently of each other.

The modularity of the LEG goes even further; both slides and guided slides as well as the supporting lateral cheeks and the connecting elements are available in different sizes and versions. The LEG gripper can thus be adapted economically to the corresponding task and load. Optional sensors or image processing systems make it a sensitive tool in the production, assembly, and packaging processes. A change system that can be used to change the fingers manually or automatically provides the user with additional flexibility. Due to the low weight of the LEG gripper, excellent acceleration and high speeds are possible, and thus shorter cycle times and a higher overall power. Alternatively, smaller actuators or robots can be used with identical cycle times. That saves energy, protects the environment and reduces running costs.

The New Thomas Miniature Diaphragm Brushless DC Pumps Combine Durability and Performance

Thomas recent extension of its family of Jade products features two
new diaphragm miniature brushless DC pumps. The new Jade
models, 1410 and 1420 Series, are equipped with an electronically
commutated brushless DC motor. The high torque and speed range
of the motor allows step-less variation of the performance of
pneumatic diaphragm pumps (ranging from 2.5 to 11.0 lpm) so that
the flow versus pressure/vacuum curve is held more linear than with
a standard DC motor or other BLDC motors. In addition, the
electronic commutation is virtually maintenance free making the
new Jade models extremely durable with over 10,000 hours of life
under normal operating conditions.

Available in 12V or 24V, the motors are equipped with integrated control electronics and are powered bya 4-wire cable with male connector.

The lightweight, compact and closed-construction of these pumps make them ideal for medical,
analytical, lab, fuel cell and general mechanical applications.

Rapid Pick and Place with the new PPU-P from Schunk

With up to 120 cycles per minute, the PPU-P from SCHUNK is the fastest pneumatic Pick & Place Unit on the market. Thanks to a valve control unit, the gripper connected to the PPU-P can be placed directly over the individual target position, and actuated through the standard control interface.

In contrast to conventional pneumatic Pick & Place Units, the horizontal and vertical motion of the robust PPU-P unit overlap, and are positively driven by a curved roller, which reduces cycle times by one-third. At a 145 mm horizontal stroke, 45 mm (20 mm linear) vertical stroke and up to 1 kg moving mass, the unit achieves a cycle time of 0.63 s including 2 x 50 ms gripping time. Therefore the unit is suitable for various handling and assembly tasks in the field of electronic industry, medical technology, and other industries, where small components are assembled.

In order to balance build-up tolerances, the horizontal stroke can be adjusted by up to 12 mm per side. Moreover, both end positions can be adjusted by 15 mm, independent from each other, and differences in height between the mounting and depositing position can be balanced without an intermediate stop.

Due to its bolt pattern, the PPU-P fits smoothly into SCHUNKKs modular assembly automation system, and numerous gripping modules and rotary actuators can be easily combined for any project at hand.

With the new D&C Scheme Editor 3.0, Rexroth presents a special offer for design engineers. Free of charge and with no licensing requirements, the circuit diagram software is highly intuitive and easy to use. It also permits the creation of complex pneumatic circuit diagrams in compliance with standards.

A comprehensive pneumatic symbol library provides the basis for the circuit diagram tool. Symbols can be easily taken from the library, placed on a worksheet using drag & drop, and connected to a complete circuit diagram. Frequently used symbols can be stored as favorites in a user-defined folder structure. This makes it even easier to create circuit diagrams.

Material numbers or designations can be used to search for individual products that are not represented as a circuit diagram symbol. Graphical objects, such as lines, circles and rectangles with many possible settings for colors and types, provide additional options for customizing the circuit diagrams. It is also possible to integrate text and images.

The components are aligned on a grid, allowing ports to be arranged according to the grid. The components can be rotated in 155 steps. For the individual components in the circuit diagram, the user can assign material and item numbers as well as accessories. Based on this model, parts lists can be generated, which can then be used to start the order process an important function, both for the documentation and administration of a system. Additional data sheets can be used to expand the circuit diagram. Each individual object can also be hyperlinked to further documents all in a single application.
