Overview

Pneumatic grippers introduce inherent safety vulnerabilities by relying on continuous air pressure, risking catastrophic payload drops during power loss. The CHZ2 Series eliminates this risk by utilizing a self-locking worm drive mechanism that mechanically maintains its grip (up to 98N) entirely unpowered. This fail-safe architecture, combined with ±0.02 mm repeatability, delivers secure, energy-efficient manipulation for high-value components in critical assembly environments.

Key Benefits

• Inherent Self-Locking Safety: The integrated worm drive mechanically holds position during power interruptions, preventing part drops without requiring continuous holding current or complex safety redundancies.
• Micron-Level Precision: Engineered for exact positioning with ±0.02 mm repeatability at actuation speeds up to 50 mm/s, meeting the strict tolerances required for high-throughput assembly.
• Optimized Energy Efficiency: Consumes power only during actuation, drastically reducing thermal footprint and overall energy expenditure compared to continuous-draw pneumatic alternatives.
• Programmable Force & Versatile Stroke: Features adjustable gripping force (22N to 98N) and multiple stroke variants (10mm, 14mm, 22mm) to accommodate diverse payload geometries without mechanical reconfiguration.
• Seamless Control Integration: Natively supports Modbus, Ethernet/IP, and Profibus for rapid, low-friction deployment into modern PLC and automation architectures.

Target Applications

• TFT/LED Assembly: Provides secure, zero-drop handling of fragile glass panels and optoelectronic components.
• Clean & Quiet Manufacturing: Eliminates pneumatic exhaust and compressor noise, providing an optimal solution for semiconductor cleanrooms and advanced electronics production.
• Laboratory Automation: Delivers precise, programmable force control for automated sample handling, pipetting, and sensitive diagnostic equipment.
