Schunk Universal Gripper PGL-plus-P

With the new PGL-plus-P, SCHUNK is introducing a flexible and robust powerhouse that shines above all else for its increased safety. The pneumatic gripper is the first in the world to have GripGuard certified safe gripping force maintenance.

Those searching for a powerful yet versatile gripper will be well taken care of by the new PGL-plus-P. The pneumatic universal gripper offers a unique performance package of stroke, force and connectivity, making it perfectly suited for handling tasks where flexibility is required.
 

With the PGL-plus-P, SCHUNK is pursuing a clear goal: more safety in use while simultaneously also providing a wider range of applications. To this end, SCHUNK is offering the pneumatic gripper as the first in the world to have GripGuard certified safe gripping force maintenance.

This reduces the risk of operators injuring themselves during part removal, for example, to a minimum, as uncontrolled jaw movements in the event of a sudden drop in pressure are eliminated from the outset. Also, no workpieces are lost in the event of a compressed air supply failure or an emergency stop. At least 80% of the nominal gripping force is reliably maintained in the event of pressure loss.
 

Another highlight is the already integrated IOL sensor system. It also increases the performance of the gripper and simplifies acquisition, commissioning and repair by eliminating the need for external sensors. It can be used to monitor the finger position over the entire range of stroke. It can also distinguish workpieces with high precision.
