Effecto Group's EIG2-13050 is an electric parallel gripper designed for programmable force and position control through its embedded controller. The unit is ideal for precision tasks such as small-part handling, electronics assembly, or pick-and-place automation, where repeatability and adaptable grip are critical.

The EIG2-13050 offers versatile communication protocols including Modbus RTU and digital I/O as standard. Optional adaptors allow expansion to USB, Ethernet, CAN, PROFINET, or EtherCAT, making it suitable for a wide range of robotic architectures. Five mounting positions enable integration into tight end-of-arm layouts and flexible tooling setups.

Within the EIG2 series, this model stands out for delivering 13 mm stroke and 100 N force, supporting workpieces up to 1 kg with low noise emission. The rectangular compact design fits confined spaces and delivers superior repeatability at 0.02 mm compared to typical alternatives at 0.05 mm.

Applications for the EIG2-13050:

• Small parts handling in electronics, precision assembly or laboratory automation
• Machine tending and pick-and-place tasks requiring programmable force control
• Robotic integration where compact sizing and flexible mounting are a must

Key Features:

• Programmable force and position: Adjust gripping parameters for diverse or fragile workpieces
• Robust communication: Modbus RTU, digital I/O, and expandability to leading industrial protocols
• Mounting flexibility: Five installation orientations to suit varied robotic setups
• Low noise operation: ≤ 40 dB(A) sound pressure

Configuring Force and Position Settings:

Operators can set specific gripping force and jaw movement with the EIG2-13050's embedded controller, adapting the gripper for delicate parts or challenging geometries. Grip feedback is accessible via PLC or controller interfaces.

Frequently Asked Questions:

• What's the difference between parallel and angular grippers?
  Parallel grippers move jaws linearly, maintaining parallel alignment for consistent surface contact, while angular grippers rotate jaws about a pivot, engaging workpieces from a fixed angle.
• How do you choose gripping force?
  Match gripper force to workpiece weight and fragility. For small parts or electronics, adjustable force like the EIG2-13050's 100 N maximum ensures secure but gentle handling.
• Need a gripper with 13 mm stroke?
  The EIG2-13050 delivers exactly that, providing reliable precision for small-part tasks.
• What applications suit the EIG2?
  Best for small-part handling, electronics assembly, lab automation, machine tending where adaptability and compactness are required.
