SMAC MGR Micro Gripper

Programmable Micro Gripper for Handling Fragile Parts

MGR6 series micro gripper has a low moving mass with two independent axes. It is capable of light, controlled forces and can be used as an end effector on third-party robots.

The gripper measures 55 × 47.5 × 24 mm. Its stroke measures 10 mm (5 mm each), its peak force is 3.8 N and its force constant is 11.5.
The gripper is suitable for small semiconductor components handling, small lens handling, stent/catheter handling, sample tube handling and electronics assembly. These applications make use of the gripper’s Soft-Land feature, programmable down to as low as 2.5 g of force, and two independently controlled gripper fingers, which enable gripping of asymmetric and offset parts.
SMAC’s built-in sensor feedback system gives the Micro Gripper, the unique mechatronic ability to “perform a task and verify its quality at the same time.” This would allow the actuators to quality check key processes 100% in real time and feedback the results.

SMAC Moving Coil Actuators is primarily known for its true “mechatronic solutions.” By that they mean their actuators have unique capabilities such as programmable and controllable position, velocity, and force, high accelerations, cycle life well over 100M, and a patent-pending “Soft-Land” capability. The Soft-Land capability is very useful when performing fragile part assembly, measurement, moving objects, etc. SMAC electric grippers incorporate programmable speeds, positions and forces with data feedback. The ability to independently control each jaw allows precise force control, measurement and positioning. This makes them ideal for a wide range of positioning, measuring, and inspection applications, particularly where 100% verification is required.
