Custom Clamping End-Effector for Industrial Automation

Product Specifications

Technical details and manufacturing context for Custom Clamping End-Effector

Definition

The Custom Clamping End-Effector is a critical component of the Core Clamping and Handling Robot, engineered to securely grasp, manipulate, and position objects with high precision. It interfaces directly with the robot's arm and is tailored to specific application requirements, ensuring reliable material handling in industrial automation processes. This end-effector is designed for use in machinery and equipment manufacturing, where it serves as a part-level component that can be customized to match the geometry, weight, and handling needs of the workpieces. The unit is available with a body made from aluminum alloy 6061-T6 or stainless steel, depending on the application's demands for weight, strength, and environmental resistance. Key parameters include a clamping force range of 500–2000 N, a stroke per jaw of 10–50 mm, and positioning repeatability of ±0.05 mm. The operating pressure should be between 0.4 and 0.8 MPa, with a supply voltage of 24 V DC (±10%) and power consumption of 10–30 W. The end-effector operates within a temperature range of -10 to 60 °C and offers ingress protection ratings of IP54 to IP65. The mounting interface conforms to ISO 9409-1-50-4-M6, ensuring compatibility with standard robot flanges. The weight ranges from 2.5 to 8.0 kg, depending on the selected stroke and force options. These specifications are provided as reference ranges and must be verified for the specific model and application with the legal manufacturer or supplier. The end-effector is designed to be integrated into automated systems, and its performance depends on proper selection, installation, and maintenance. It is essential to confirm that the chosen configuration meets the requirements of the intended use, including the workpiece characteristics, environmental conditions, and safety standards.

Working Principle

The end-effector operates by converting the robot's mechanical or pneumatic power into controlled clamping force. Actuators, such as pneumatic cylinders or electric motors, drive the clamping mechanism, which typically consists of jaws or fingers that open and close to securely hold objects of varying shapes and sizes. The clamping force is regulated based on programmed parameters and sensor feedback, allowing for precise control. The stroke per jaw can be adjusted to accommodate different part sizes, and the positioning repeatability ensures consistent clamping position. The system requires a supply voltage of 24 V DC and operates within a specified pressure range. The end-effector is designed to function within defined temperature and ingress protection limits, and its performance may degrade if these boundaries are exceeded. Regular inspection of seals, actuators, and sensors is recommended to maintain reliable operation.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the clamping force range of this end-effector?

The clamping force range is 500–2000 N, as listed in the reference parameters. However, the actual force for a specific model must be confirmed with the manufacturer, as it depends on the configuration and operating conditions.

What mounting interface does it use?

The mounting interface is ISO 9409-1-50-4-M6, which is compatible with standard robot flanges. This ensures easy integration with many industrial robots, but always verify compatibility with your robot model.

What are the operating temperature limits?

The operating temperature range is -10 to 60 °C. Operating outside this range may cause seal failure or other performance issues. Always check the specific model's limits with the supplier.

Is the end-effector suitable for use in dusty or wet environments?

The ingress protection rating is IP54 to IP65, meaning it is protected against dust and water jets to varying degrees. The exact rating depends on the model, so confirm the IP rating for your specific unit.
