PM Parallel Gripper Series

About

About PM Parallel Gripper Series

ChangingTek’s PM family spans compact low-force grippers through larger industrial models. Published configurations provide maximum forces from three newtons to 700 newtons and maintain stated repeat positioning accuracy of ±0.02 millimetres, allowing integrators to select around part width, load and required contact force.

Integrated drives regulate position, speed and force and return grip, drop and fault information to the machine controller. Standard models use Modbus RTU and discrete I/O, with secondary-development options including ROS, EtherCAT and CAN across the wider platform. The range supports electronics handling, assembly, inspection, machine tending and other variable-part automation.
