The IPR CGS2-100 is a powerful new parallel gripper from IPR's CGS2 series. 

Whether for the automotive industry, mechanical engineering, or parts handling - the new CGS2 parallel gripper series from IPR enables the reliable gripping of parts and workpieces with a wide range of geometries and in almost all manufacturing environments. This enables manufacturers to increase the productivity and reliability of automated production systems. Especially when reliability and precision requirements are high, the CGS2 gripper offers the perfect solution.

Universally Applicable

The CGS2 parallel gripper series stands for compatibility, precision and robustness. The new gripper series was developed for universal use and is ideal for applications with handling weights from 0.4 kg to 96 kg. From clean assembly applications to dirty and dusty applications (e.g., in forges and foundries), there is a suitable variant for every task. The universal parallel gripper enables a very high permissible torque load due to a maximum guide length of the base jaws.

In addition, the T-slot guidance makes the gripper resistant to collisions and impacts and provides special protection against jamming in the case of heavily protruding gripper fingers. Thanks to the lubrication pockets integrated into the sides of the jaws, a permanent storage of grease and thus a maintenance-free application can be ensured. Another argument in favour of the flexible application of an IPR gripper is that you can attach commercially available third-party sensors and use them in a process-safe manner.

Maximal Gripping Strength

The effective surface of the oval piston was optimised for the geometry of the base body to enable maximum gripping forces. This also benefits the minimal interference contour and the high power density, because the weight-optimised design makes the CGS2 gripper up to 15% lighter than comparable universal grippers. By means of a spring installed in the piston chamber, part of the gripping force can be maintained even in the event of a drop in compressed air.

The universal parallel gripper CGS2 is available in different stroke variants (long stroke with normal gripping force or half stroke with increased gripping force), with gripping force retention for external or internal gripping as well as in versions for dirty environments (IP64) and for high ambient temperatures (up to 130 °C). The technical data given always refer to the standard version with long stroke and without gripping force retention.

Details on all other variants can be found in the CGS2 product brochure under "Downloads" or here on the IPR Profile Page.
