Schunk: MPZ Gripper for Small Components

March 23, 2023

Introducing the MPZ gripper from Schunk, a small 3-finger centric gripper with base jaws guided on T-slots. The T-slot guidance allows for precise gripping at high moment loads. An air supply via hose-free direct or screw connections allow for a flexible pressure supply in all automated systems. The compact dimensions of the gripper provide minimally interfering contours for handling.

Options and special information for MPZ gripper

Gripping force maintenance version AS/IS
The mechanical gripping force maintenance version ensures minimum gripping force even in the event of a pressure drop. In the AS/S version this acts as a closing force, in the IS version as an opening force.

Version FPS for flexible position sensor
This version is prepared for the use with the flexible position sensor FPS, and allows monitoring of several gripping positions.

NEW: Version with food -compliant lubrication (H1G)
As a solution for an easy entry into medical technology, lab automation, pharmaceutical and food industry. The requirements of EN 1672-2:2020 are not fully met.
