SMAC’s MGR5 lightweight micro gripper is designed for small, fragile part assembly. It brings operation force of 10 g or less capability into range. Light-moving mass reduces impact force during small-product placement. The product has a 5-micron linear encoder standard, with 1 micron optional. Soft-Land capability enables pick-and-place of delicate and fragile parts. The electric gripper incorporates programmable speeds, positions and forces with data feedback. The ability to independently control each jaw allows precise force control, measurement and positioning. This makes the gripper suitable for positioning, measuring and inspection applications, particularly those in which 100% verification is required.
