What is the gripping force of the DH-Robotics PGHL-400-80?

The PGHL-400-80 delivers adjustable gripping force from 140 N to 400 N per jaw, allowing precise force control for different workpiece types and materials. This range supports both delicate precision assembly and robust handling tasks up to 8 kg payloads.

What is the main purpose of a gripper?

A gripper is an end effector that grasps, holds, and releases workpieces in automated systems. The PGHL-400-80 electric gripper enables rapid pick-and-place cycles and precision assembly by opening in 1.0 seconds and closing in 1.1 seconds while maintaining ±0.02 mm repeatability.

How do I mount the PGHL-400-80 to my robot?

The PGHL-400-80 mounts directly to compatible robot wrists via a standard interface with no special adapters required. It is 194 mm long, 73 mm wide, and weighs 2.2 kg, fitting compact robot arms in automotive, semiconductor, and food processing environments.

What communication protocols does the PGHL-400-80 support?

The gripper includes Modbus RTU and digital I/O as standard, with optional support for TCP/IP, USB 2.0, CAN 2.0A, PROFINET, and EtherCAT for flexible integration with different robot controllers and industrial networks. It operates on 24 V DC ±10% power supply.

Can the PGHL-400-80 work in cold or hot environments?

The PGHL-400-80 operates reliably in temperatures between 0-40°C and tolerates up to 85% relative humidity, with an IP40 environmental rating suitable for most indoor industrial automation environments. It is CE, FCC, and RoHS certified for industrial use.

Electric gripper vs pneumatic grippers:

The PGHL-400-80 is an electric parallel gripper designed for precision and control where pneumatic alternatives offer only fixed force. Choose this gripper when you need programmable grip strength, fast cycle times, and repeatability in compact automation cells.

For delicate electronics or parts requiring variable grip pressure, adjustable force from 140 to 400 N per jaw prevents damage while maintaining secure hold.
On high-throughput pick-and-place lines, 1.0 second opening and 1.1 second closing cycles match or exceed pneumatic speed without air infrastructure.
In precision assembly with tight tolerances, ±0.02 mm repeatability ensures consistent part positioning across thousands of cycles.
For workpieces up to 8 kg in confined robot cells, the compact 2.2 kg gripper frees payload for additional tooling or sensors.
On systems requiring multiple communication protocols (Modbus, PROFINET, EtherCAT), integrated control eliminates external valve logic and reduces integration time.
