What is a robotic gripper?

A robotic gripper is an end effector that attaches to a robotic arm to grasp and hold parts during manufacturing tasks. The AGS Magnetic Gripper Set uses permanent magnets to hold ferromagnetic components reliably without requiring power.

What is a vacuum gripper?

A vacuum gripper creates suction to hold smooth or non-ferrous materials, but it cannot reliably grip rough, oily, or perforated metal parts. Magnetic grippers like the AGS model handle those difficult surfaces that vacuum grippers struggle with.

Will the AGS Magnetic Gripper Set, Compact, fit my cobot?

The AGS Magnetic Gripper Set weighs just 0.56 kg and uses standard mounting interfaces, making it compatible with cobots and lightweight robots in tight workspaces. Check that your robot's payload capacity exceeds 0.56 kg and that your mounting interface matches standard gripper mounts.

Does the magnetic gripper need power to operate?

No, the AGS Magnetic Gripper Set uses permanent magnet operation and requires no continuous power supply, making it energy-efficient for bin picking, sorting, machine tending, and assembly line applications.

What parts can this magnetic gripper handle that other grippers cannot?

The AGS gripper reliably grips rough, oily, and perforated ferromagnetic steel parts where vacuum and pneumatic grippers cannot establish a proper seal. It works well for bin picking and sorting of steel components in harsh manufacturing environments.

Is magnetic gripper maintenance easier than mechanical grippers?

Yes, the AGS Magnetic Gripper Set has a simple design with no moving parts, which cuts maintenance compared to mechanical grippers that require regular upkeep of their moving components.

Compact 0.56 kg magnetic gripper for handling ferromagnetic parts on cobots and lightweight robots. Permanent magnet design requires no power, grips rough or oily surfaces, fits tight workspaces. Includes mounting accessories.

The AGS Magnetic Gripper Set, Compact, 0.56 kg, is a robotic arm gripper designed for cobots and automated systems to handle ferromagnetic components in tight manufacturing spaces.

Key Features:

Permanent magnet operation eliminates continuous power demands for energy-efficient gripping.
Compact form factor measures just 0.56 kg, ideal for lightweight and collaborative robots.

Applications:

Bin picking
Sorting of steel parts
Machine tending and loading
Assembly lines working with ferromagnetic materials

Comparison to Other Gripper Types:

Magnetic grippers reliably handle rough, oily, or perforated ferromagnetic parts where vacuum or pneumatic grippers may struggle to establish a seal.
Mechanical grippers require moving parts and regular maintenance, while magnetic models feature simpler design and reduced upkeep.
Vacuum grippers suit non-ferrous and smooth surfaces, but may lose effectiveness on perforated or uneven metal objects.

Common Questions:

What is a magnetic gripper? Magnetic grippers use permanent magnets to hold ferromagnetic parts securely on a robotic arm.
When should I use magnetic vs vacuum grippers? Select magnetic grippers, such as AGS Automation part number 2-99-00-02-18-000, for applications involving steel or iron parts with rough or oily surfaces. Choose vacuum grippers for smooth or non-ferrous materials.

Magnetic gripping versus vacuum and mechanical alternatives:

The AGS Magnetic Gripper Set, Compact is a zero-power, permanent magnet gripper for ferromagnetic steel and iron parts in confined robotic cells. Choose it over vacuum grippers when parts are rough, oily, or perforated, since magnetic holding works where suction cannot seal. Choose it over mechanical grippers when you need to reduce moving parts and maintenance overhead.

For bin picking and sorting of steel components on lightweight cobots, the 0.56 kg weight preserves payload capacity while the permanent magnet design eliminates power consumption.
In tight collaborative workspaces where envelope matters, the compact form fits alongside other end effectors without sacrificing gripper performance on ferromagnetic materials.
On high-throughput assembly lines handling machine-tending tasks with rough or oily steel parts, magnetic holding succeeds where vacuum would lose grip or mechanical designs would demand regular maintenance.
For perforated metal stampings and stampings, magnetic attraction works reliably across surface irregularities that vacuum grippers cannot manage.
