Weiss Robotics presents INTRAPAL

Servo-electric palletising gripper combines flexible format adaptation with up to 1,200 N gripping force and a 280 mm stroke

Ludwigsburg, 9 November 2026. WEISS ROBOTICS presents the INTRAPAL 1200-280, a servo-electric gripper for the automated handling of various load carriers. The gripper combines a high payload with precise gripping force control and versatile connection options. A freely pre-positionable movable finger and an adjustable gripping force allow adaptation to changing product and container formats via software.

A standard solution for different formats

The INTRAPAL is suitable for applications in the food and beverage sector, in retail and wholesale, in e-commerce, as well as in industrial production and at logistics service providers. Typical tasks range from palletizing and repackaging beverage crates, small load carriers and cartons to supplying materials to assembly lines. Its single-sided parallel kinematics offer a total stroke of 280 mm; the gripping force can be adjusted between 150 and 1,200 N.

The integrated gripping force control and the freely pre-positionable movable finger allow the gripping process to be adapted to different container sizes and workpieces. Compared with application-specific, bespoke grippers, this offers greater flexibility: Different objects and formats can be handled within the working range using the same solution, provided suitable gripper fingers are fitted. This can reduce the development effort required for additional grippers and avoid the need to replace the entire tool during product changeovers.

The servo-electric drive requires no compressed air. This eliminates the need for a pneumatic supply to the gripper – an advantage for installation and use in fully electrically powered robot cells.

Controlled gripping from pick-up to set-down

INTRAPAL is designed for workpiece weights of up to 60 kg with form-fit gripping and up to 30 kg with friction-fit gripping. It can be used on industrial robots and cobots; the permissible payload depends on the overall robot and tool configuration.

Users can adjust the gripping force to suit the specific gripped part using the sensorless gripping force control. Integrated part detection and continuous grip monitoring provide feedback from pick-up to set-down. The robot application can use this information to check the gripping state and respond to deviations in the process.

Smart connectivity and easy integration

The INTRAPAL comes as standard with a GRIPLINK-compatible Ethernet TCP/IPPIP interface. GRIPLINK technology from WEISS ROBOTICS, together with certified plugins for supported robot systems, simplifies integration, programming and commissioning – including the latest URCapX integration for direct operation within PolyScope X. Users can control the gripper directly from within the robot application and adjust its parameters to suit the specific process.

For robots with a suitable Ethernet connection and power supply at the tool flange, the gripper can be connected there using short connection cables. Alternatively, for compatible cobots, operation via Modbus RTU via the tool I/O interface is available as an option. Depending on the robot system, this eliminates the need for external cabling along the robot arm.

Additional third-party sensors and actuators can be connected directly to the gripper via integrated IO-Link-finger interfaces. This allows the standard solution to be specifically extended with application-specific functions without having to design a completely new gripper for every additional requirement.

Direct access to configuration and diagnostics

The integrated web server enables operation, configuration and diagnostics via a web browser. Users can adjust system parameters, retrieve diagnostic data and carry out firmware updates. Direct access to these functions supports commissioning and facilitates troubleshooting during operation.
