Delicate Handling with Minimal Distortion

SCHUNK provides invaluable support to numerous industries, including pharmaceuticals and medical supplies. When dealing with fragile applications like these, opting for an electric gripper like the WSG offers distinct advantages. The WSG's standout feature is its ability to finely adjust grip force to as low as 5N. A SCHUNK servo-electric gripper empowers operators with closed-loop feedback on position and grip force, enabling the handling of exceptionally fragile components with minimal deformation. At the same time, it maintains SCHUNK's signature precision and reliability, accommodating a wide range of components.
