What is an electric gripper?

An electric gripper is a powered end effector that uses electrical energy to open and close fingers for gripping workpieces. The DH Robotics AG3 operates on 24 V DC and uses an electric screw nut and linkage mechanism to grip objects with forces ranging from 10 to 65 N per jaw.

What is the main purpose of a gripper?

A gripper picks up, holds, and positions workpieces in robotic automation tasks like assembly, machine tending, packaging, and material handling. The AG3 is designed to grip and precisely position irregular or cylindrical objects with repeatability of ±0.03 mm across its 106 mm stroke.

Can the DH Robotics AG3 handle irregular shaped parts?

Yes, the AG3 features an adaptive linkage design with three independent fingers that conform to irregular shapes and geometries. This adaptive design allows it to securely handle varied workpiece shapes while maintaining precise positioning.

What communication protocols does the AG3 Electric Gripper support?

The AG3 integrates via TCP/IP, USB 2.0, CAN 2.0A, and optional EtherCAT, making it compatible with most industrial robot control systems. It operates on 24 V DC at 0.5 A rated current with a peak draw of 1.0 A.

Is the AG3 suitable for food processing applications?

The AG3 is sealed with an IP40 protection rating and operates in controlled environments from 0 to 40°C, making it appropriate for food processing among other industries like automotive assembly and electronics manufacturing. Its quiet operation at under 60 dB also suits noise-sensitive production areas.

What is the maximum weight an AG3 can grip?

The DH Robotics AG3 can handle a maximum workpiece weight of 1.8 kg with gripping forces between 10 and 65 N per jaw. The exact grip strength depends on the workpiece geometry and how the adaptive fingers conform to it.

Electric adaptive gripper vs pneumatic or magnetic alternatives:

The AG3 is a three-finger electric gripper designed for precise, quiet handling of lightweight parts up to 1.8 kg. It differs from pneumatic grippers in power source and from magnetic grippers in grip method. Choose it when precision, low noise, and adaptive finger conformance to irregular shapes matter more than raw force or speed.

For delicate electronics assembly or food handling, the sub-60 dB noise and ±0.03 mm repeatability avoid disruption and ensure positioning accuracy.
On shared collaborative cells with sensitive workpieces under 1.8 kg, adaptive three-finger linkage conforms to cylinders, sheets, and irregular geometries without hard jaw damage.
In controlled indoor environments (0–40°C), the IP40 seal and 24 V DC supply integrate into standard factory automation without special air lines or magnetic field constraints.
For pick-and-place or machine tending where force scaling matters, the 10–65 N range per jaw lets you dial grip strength down for fragile parts or up for secure transfer.
