About

About AG Collaborative Gripper Series

ChangingTek’s AG range includes two- and three-finger adaptive grippers with model-specific gripping forces from approximately ten to 80 newtons. Parallel and underactuated mechanisms conform around parts with different shapes, reducing the need to exchange tooling when product geometry changes within an assembly or handling process.

Integrated control regulates position, speed and force and returns grip, drop and fault information to the host system. Catalogue models provide repeatability from approximately ±0.02 to ±0.05 millimetres and communicate through Modbus RTU and discrete I/O, with ROS, EtherCAT and CAN expansion available across the platform. Applications include collaborative assembly, inspection and machine tending.

Context
