What is the main purpose of a gripper?

A gripper is an end effector that handles, grips, and manipulates parts in automated systems. The DH Robotics CGI 100-170 is designed specifically for pick-and-place operations, machine tending, and assembly lines where cylindrical parts need precise, repeatable handling.

What is an electric gripper?

An electric gripper uses motors and drive systems to open and close fingers for gripping workpieces, as opposed to pneumatic grippers that use compressed air. The CGI 100-170 is a pinion-driven electric gripper with three centric fingers, offering 0.5 second cycle times and repeat accuracy of ±0.03 mm.

What size cylinders can the DH Robotics CGI 100-170 handle?

The CGI 100-170 grips cylindrical parts with diameters from 40 mm to 170 mm without adjustment required, thanks to its 10 mm stroke. It delivers gripping force of 30 to 100 N per jaw and can hold a maximum payload of 1.5 kg.

What protocols does the CGI 100-170 connect with?

The DH Robotics CGI 100-170 integrates with Modbus RTU (RS485) and digital I/O as standard. Optional connectivity includes TCP/IP, USB2.0, CAN2.0A, PROFINET, and EtherCAT for advanced system integration.

Is this gripper suitable for dusty factory environments?

Yes, the CGI 100-170 has an IP40 rating that protects against dust and debris in typical factory environments. It operates reliably within temperatures from 0°C to 40°C with noise emissions below 50 dB.

Electric gripper for cylindrical parts versus pneumatic alternatives:

The CGI 100-170 is an electric 3-finger gripper optimized for precise, repeatable handling of cylindrical workpieces from 40 mm to 170 mm diameter. Choose this over pneumatic grippers when accuracy, cycle speed, and tight mounting space are priorities.

For repeat accuracy within ±0.03 mm on delicate or tight-tolerance parts, the electric drive delivers consistency that pneumatic systems typically cannot match.
On high-throughput lines, the 0.5 second cycle time and instant on/off response maximize production throughput without air reservoir lag.
In confined end-of-arm spaces, the 1.5 kg combined weight and compact envelope fit where larger pneumatic blocks would not.
For long production runs without compressed air infrastructure, electric operation eliminates hose routing and air leakage waste.
On machine tending and palletising tasks with cylindrical containers or tubes, the centric 3-finger design and 30–100 N grip range handle light to medium parts securely.
