A small module for handling small items is the rotary gripper module. The gripping motion is produced electrically by a stepper motor or pneumatically by a cylinder. A stepper motor drives the rotary motion.
The rotary gripper module is perfect for holding, turning, and aligning tiny objects in the electronics or laboratory automation industries. For instance, a variety of sample vials with quantities up to 15 ml can be easily opened.
They can be utilised for a variety of tasks, including loading and unloading carriers for workpieces, insertion activities during assembly processes, and picking finished goods from covering boxes.
Furthermore, cutting-edge production technology is combined with creative design modifications to give the grippers robust reliability and precision, making them safe investments with a long service life.
These modifications include the powerful rotor drive, angle of rotation up to 180°, end-position adjustment, and cushioning adjustment.
Global rotary gripper module market accounted for $XX Billion in 2022 and is anticipated to reach $XX Billion by 2030, registering a CAGR of XX% from 2023 to 2030.
For high-speed laboratory sample handling, the German automation company Festo has introduced the small rotary gripper module EHMD.A Cartesian robot’s rotary gripper may load centrifuges, grip rotating microwell plates, and screw caps on and off sample vials.
The device’s creator hopes to automate the screening of tens of thousands of COVID-19 samples per day.
The gripper is also made to enable quality inspection, barcode reading, and label printing by collaborating with the company’s 3D gantry handling system and a camera. The EHMD supports limitless rotation and is available in a completely electric version or with a pneumatically powered gripper.
To handle variations in cap thread pitch, an optional module with z-axis correction is offered. The module does away with the requirement to swap out the device’s head adapter.
This Rotating Gripper Module from GMT satisfies market demands with both rotary and clamping capabilities. Its distinctive rotational and clamping features can be separately operated and managed by the drive controller.
Without the need for simultaneous correction on both axes, you may easily manage independent movement, and the problem of wire wrapping is resolved by rotating an object infinitely. It broadens the variety of single-axis module assembly and removes the restriction on a single product application.
