Plate based FIPA grippers.
Marca
With plate based gripper systems made of aluminum or carbon fibre (CFRP), lightweight design meets end-of-arm-tooling. Large grippers are achieved by combining extrusion systems as the supporting structure and, CFRP plates for integrating the gripper components. Gripper components with shafts are mounted with clamping rings.
The benefits of FIPA plate based systems:
. Simpler gripper structure than extrusion systems: reduced cost and lower weight
. Construction without connector elements, such as angle clamps
. Higher gripping dynamics and lower energy consumption through reduced gripper weight
