Q-fin chooses Goudsmit magnetic E-grippers for pick & place robots

These robots find application in automated production processes for, among other things, deburring, rounding and finishing metal sheet parts. Q-fin specialises in developing and building machines for these operations in the metal industry, where efficient handling and high reliability are two very important requirements.

Reliable magnetic gripper for pick and place operations

The electrically switchable, magnetic E-gripper offers this confidence. The powerful end-of-arm magnetic gripper is designed for attachment to robots and manipulators. It is suitable for lifting, lifting or placing ferromagnetic products such as sheet metal in the automotive and steel processing industries, among others. Installation is easy due to the plug-and-play design and accompanying manual.

E-grippers keep a steel sheet or other product securely in place once gripped, even during pick and place movements with high acceleration forces. The energy-efficient magnet system has a bi-stable design, ensuring process safety even in the event of a power failure, emergency stop or malfunction.
 

Low energy consumption, long lifetime

Due to its mechatronic design, the safe E-gripper requires low energy consumption and eliminates the need for costly compressed air. The switchable end-of-arm tool contains no moving parts; this ensures a long service life. Even ten million switching cycles are no problem. The magnetic gripper is equipped with smart software and sensors, including inductive sensors for detecting product presence, as well as Hall sensors for signalling the on/off position.

In short, the E-Gripper is an excellent choice for companies like Q-fin looking for a safe, durable and intelligent solution for gripping steel products of various shapes and sizes. This film shows you how it works.
