CKD has acquired certification as a pneumatic gripper, by custom-made products TechMan Robot Co., Ltd. and OMRON Corporation, where Collaborative robots TM Series enables Plug & Play (*1).

*1 Plug & Play: OS automatically sets the required settings when a peripheral Component, etc., is connected to the PC.

Background to development

Collaborative robots that can share the workspace with people without any safety fences are attracting attention as equipment capable of automating manufacturing sites of all sizes.

Major applications

• Supply and removal of parts from machinery (machine tending)
• Parts conveyance (Pick & Place)
• Product assembly

Product features

• Can be easily mounted on robots. The gripper can be connected to its dedicated flange, clamp ring, and wiring connector to the robot in three steps, and in just 5 minutes. In addition, the gripper setup can be changed without using any tools by utilizing the dedicated flange to save time.
• Safe and user-friendly design. A round-shaped resin body that has no protrusions or edges, is used to ensure operator safety. A 360°visible indicator lamp allows workers near the robot to check the operation status at a glance.
• Easy-to-use air drive. Because it is air driven, it is compact and lightweight, yet exhibits high gripping force. Gripping power and speed can be easily set with an external regulator and built-in speed controller, respectively.
• Teaching supported with dedicated software. Since teaching and control can be easily performed from the dedicated software on the robot side, the operation setting time of the gripper can be shortened.
• Lineup according to usage environment and usage
