- Key Products/Technologies
- Gripping Technology: A diverse product portfolio including parallel grippers (FGA JGP, FGA KGG, FGA MPG-plus, FGA EGP, PGN-plus-E, EGP-C), centric grippers (FGA JGZ, PZN-plus, EZU, MPZ, PZH-plus), angular grippers, magnetic grippers, adhesive grippers, special grippers, rotary gripping modules, sensors, and accessories. The PGN-plus-E is an electric 2-finger parallel gripper featuring permanent lubrication, high gripping force, and multi-tooth guidance for precision and reliability. The EGP-C is an electric 2-finger parallel gripper certified for collaborative operation, suitable for handling small to medium workpieces with flexible force. The EZU mechatronic centric gripper simplifies flexible loading and unloading of cylindrical workpieces with variable stroke, adjustable gripping force, and a StrongGrip function. The 2D Grasping Kit is an AI-powered solution combining a camera, industrial PC, AI software, and an application-specific gripper for autonomous handling of randomly positioned objects.Gripping Technology: A diverse product portfolio including parallel grippers (FGA JGP, FGA KGG, FGA MPG-plus, FGA EGP, PGN-plus-E, EGP-C), centric grippers (FGA JGZ, PZN-plus, EZU, MPZ, PZH-plus), angular grippers, magnetic grippers, adhesive grippers, special grippers, rotary gripping modules, sensors, and accessories.
