How to compare electric grippers before you buy: what drives price, how to read a quotation, and how to match stroke, force and control to your robot cell.
An IP54 electric gripper is a robot gripper whose body is rated dust-protected and protected against water splashing from any direction. In the parameter set we supply from, exactly one model carries that rating: the EPGC-50-150 collaborative parallel gripper. The other series we list (EPGS, EPG2 including EPG2-100-50, EPG3, EPG4, ERG, ERGD and EPGL) are … Read more
Why teams retrofit Many cells still run parallel pneumatic grippers because the hardware is familiar. A pneumatic gripper replacement usually starts for one of four reasons: no shop air at a new station, inconsistent grip on delicate parts, need for programmable stroke or force, or fewer valves and hoses on a compact robot wrist. An … Read more
An electric gripper price is a configuration answer, not a catalogue fact. Here are the five inputs that set it, and how to compare two quotations fairly.
A gripper drops parts at speed when the grip was sized for a stationary load. Work through load, friction, finger geometry and grip timing in the right order.
Robot gripper fingers decide whether a grip repeats on every cycle. Five practical design checks covering contact profile, material, stiffness, reach and wear.
How to choose a cobot gripper for small parts: payload discipline, force limiting, finger design, and cable routing on a collaborative arm.
Parallel gripper vs 3-jaw gripper: how each one holds a part, which shapes suit each design, and why finger design decides the result more often than the mechanism.
Electric gripper vs pneumatic gripper: compare force control, stroke, position feedback, and total system cost to see which technology fits your handling task.
A step-by-step guide to electric gripper selection: stroke, clamping force, robot compatibility, communication, environment, and the inputs that produce a fast quote.
