Weiss Robotics GmbH & Co.KG is presenting its latest gripper modules in a smart and practical way at the ‘All About Automation’ exhibition in Friedrichshafen

Weiss Robotics GmbH & Co. KG will be presenting no fewer than three new gripper modules to its customers at the “All About Automation” trade fair in Friedrichshafen on 7 and 8 March.

The absolute highlight at stand B1-218 will be the new GRIPLINK technology, which makes it easier for users to integrate servo-electric grippers. Furthermore, the Ludwigsburg-based company is, as ever, taking a solution-oriented approach. One area of the stand is dedicated exclusively to advising customers based on the components they bring with them.

Servo-electric grippers are a future-proof solution for a wide range of tasks. Markets are characterised by a fast-paced nature that can no longer be managed with conventional technology. “A constantly changing product can only be handled with adaptable grippers and tools,” says Dr Karsten Weiß. “However, many users are put off by the integration effort required for such smart gripping solutions.” That is now set to change, as the latest development from Weiss Robotics ensures the simple integration of end-of-arm tools – be it the gripper or other tools: the GRIPLINK.

GRIPLINK acts as a sort of ‘bridge’ or ‘link’ to which a servo-electric gripper, a vacuum pump, a sensor or another tool can be connected – quite simply, without the need for expensive and time-consuming changeover times on the production line. This enables customers to make their production processes more flexible and future-proof with servo-electric gripper modules. For example, with the

CLG 30-006 – the world’s smallest servo-electric gripper module. It features an IO-Link interface and is particularly suitable for handling very delicate components, such as those found in the electronics industry.

WPG 300-120: Ultra-flexible and cloud-connected

For the trade fair presentation, a Denso robot was fitted with the ultra-flexible WPG 300-120 gripper, which has a gripping force of over 300 N and can be connected directly to the cloud. The IEG Plus series from Weiss Robotics also offers over 30 per cent more gripping force than conventional models.

“Here at Weiss Robotics, we love to put ourselves in our customers’ shoes. Preferably right there on the spot,” says Dr Karsten Weiß, CEO of Weiss Robotics.

That’s why we strongly recommend that interested trade fair visitors pack up some components and bring them along. Perhaps this will turn the day at the trade fair into the first step towards a new solution for flexible production.
