NPGT_S series with measuring function

Robot hand

2-jaw parallel gripper NPGT_S series with measuring function

Thin 2-jaw parallel gripper

Possible to measure gripping length
The thin body enables flexible system design.
The high restoration accuracy by utilizing workholding technology of lathe chucks.
NPGT achieves higher gripping force than the similar stroke model.

How to order

Please install a check valve in the air-pressure circuit so that the gripper will not release a workpiece even if the air pressure drops down.
The length measuring sensor is a factory-installed option. Since optional parts such as cables vary depending on the signal output format, please contact the Kitagawa distributor when ordering the gripper with length measuring sensors.
When the jaw stroke is detected by the reed switches, mount reed switched on the grooves on the outer periphery of the product.
In case proximity switches are used for direct detection of jaw stroke, please purchase proximity switch brackets additionally.
