Which gripper interface should I choose: G1, G2 or G3, manual or automatic?

The model depends on the press and the central arm: G1 for very large presses and G2 for large presses (50 × 50 arm, large sheets), G3 for medium presses (40 × 40 arm only, small sheets). The automatic version has the same functions and useful dimensions as the manual one, but clamping and positioning are driven by two cylinders.

Manual interface

The profile is clamped mono-stably with a lever: the gripper is held without play, and an indexing finger ensures it is correctly positioned.

Automatic interface

Clamping/unclamping and positioning are driven by two cylinders, either by the robot or by a manual push button. For safety, the gripper stays held in the interface even if the air supply is cut.

The wide-clearance version is mainly used for automatic gripper drop-off: cylinder control, clamping, finger locking and connections are handled by the robot.

Mounting on the robot

Connection elements fix the interfaces at 90° to the robot's head axis, on flanges compliant with ISO 9409-1-A125.

An aluminium crossbar allows up to 3 grippers on a single robot, with G1, G2 or G3 interfaces.
