What is an Electric Gripper?
An electric gripper is a type of high-precision tooling used by robots to execute various tasks, including handling, grasping, measuring, and testing. These devices typically come in two-jaw or three-jaw configurations, providing flexibility for different objects. Unlike traditional pneumatic grippers, electric grippers use an electric motor to control the gripping fingers, offering more affordable and energy-efficient industrial solutions. By adjusting the motor current, the gripper can adjust grip force, speed, and position, making it perfect for operating delicate and fragile items.
How Does an Electric Gripper Actuator Work?
Most electric gripper actuators utilize an electric motor to control the movement and force. When the electric motor is activated, it drives the gripping mechanism, allowing the gripper to open and close based on the required task. However, devices with higher requirements may introduced with microprocessors and force sensors. With a microprocessor, the electric robot gripper can provide real-time adjustments to gripping force and speed, ensuring appropriate pressure when handling objects. Backed by a force sensor, it can detect the force level required for each specific task, offering precise control in automation tasks, such as pick-and-place and assembly.
