What is a parallel gripper?

A parallel gripper is a compact end effector with two opposing jaws that move in tandem to grip and release parts with precision. The Effecto Group EIG2 electric parallel gripper features 30 N gripping force, 13 mm stroke per jaw, and repeats positioning within 0.02 mm for consistent pick-and-place accuracy.

How does the EIG2-13015 electric gripper differ from pneumatic grippers?

The EIG2-13015 uses electric actuation instead of compressed air, which eliminates air dependency, reduces maintenance requirements, and operates whisper-quiet at a maximum of 40 dB(A). Electric grippers like the EIG2 also enable programmable force and position control for varied part geometries.

What payload can the EIG2 electric gripper handle?

The Effecto Group EIG2-13015 handles payloads up to 0.25 kg with its 30 N gripping force and 13 mm stroke per jaw. It is designed for precision small-part handling in electronics assembly, medical device manufacturing, and automotive production.

What mounting options does the EIG2 gripper have?

The EIG2 offers five mounting positions for flexible integration into robotic end-of-arm tooling platforms. URDF files and CAD models are available to support installation in robotic cells.

Can the EIG2 gripper connect to my robot controller?

The EIG2 connects to standard robot controllers and automation PLCs via Modbus RTU or digital I/O mode. Optional network integrations include USB, TCP/IP, PROFINET, and EtherCAT for broader compatibility.

Does the EIG2 gripper provide feedback on grip status?

Yes, the EIG2 provides real-time grip feedback and part detection visible on unit LEDs and readable at the PLC or controller. This enables verification of successful gripping during automated pick-and-place operations.

Electric vs. Pneumatic Gripper:

The EIG2 is a fully electric parallel gripper designed for precision small-part handling, contrasting with pneumatic alternatives that require compressed air infrastructure and higher maintenance. Choose electric actuation when you need programmable force control, quiet operation, and minimal system complexity.

For delicate electronics or medical components under 0.25 kg, the 30 N force is programmable to avoid damage while maintaining 0.02 mm repeatability for consistent pick-and-place accuracy.
In noise-sensitive environments like assembly cells, the gripper operates at 40 dB(A) maximum, eliminating the compressor noise and air leaks common to pneumatic systems.
On compact collaborative robot arms or tight workspaces, five flexible mounting positions and 0.33 kg weight allow integration without redesigning the cell layout.
When grip feedback is required for quality control or part detection, real-time LED and Modbus RTU signals feed directly to your PLC without additional sensors.
For high-throughput precision assembly lines, the quick open/close cycle and adjustable speed reduce changeover time between part geometries.
