SCHUNK EGK small component gripper

The SCHUNK EGK small component gripper is a multifunctional mechatronic gripper tailored for laboratory and electronics applications, designed for the precise and highly reliable handling of small components. It is suitable for use in clean, dusty or slightly liquid-contaminated environments, is filled with H1-grade grease and complies with cleanroom certification requirements, perfectly meeting the core demands of modern process flows for efficiency, flexibility and stability. By eliminating pneumatic drive, it is fully electrically controlled, significantly enhancing usability, cleanliness and sustainability in mobile applications. Furthermore, it incorporates a wide range of intelligent functions, representing a prime example of SCHUNK’s Level 3 automation intelligent products, capable of executing complex motion sequences based on input parameters and programming for easy adaptation to multiple scenarios. It features a long stroke and programmable finger travel with steplessly adjustable gripping force for versatile workpiece handling; the sealed design, combined with smooth profile guide rails, ensures sensitive and reliable operation; integrated drop detection and gripping force hold functions guarantee high process reliability; the absolute encoder maintains a reference point in the event of an emergency stop or power failure, whilst the spur gear design ensures constant gripping force across the entire finger length without a start-up distance; Multiple types of standardised communication interfaces are compatible with mainstream PLC function modules and robot plug-ins, enabling rapid integration and deployment. Currently, the EGK is widely used in the two core industries of laboratory automation and electronics manufacturing, having become the preferred solution for the automated gripping of small components.
