NEW ANGLE FLANGE

FOR THE MATCH END-OF-ARM ECOSYSTEM

FROM PICK & PLACE TO MACHINE LOADING

The angle flange of the LWR series was developed specifically for the MATCH end-of-arm ecosystem and enables quick and tool-free changes within seconds. It can be used universally, fits all common robot models and combines the two main handling technologies: Gripping and vacuum systems. Integration is particularly simple and direct – especially for IO-Link-capable grippers from the GEP2000, GEP5000, GEH6000IL and GPD5000IL series. Thanks to its compact design, the angle flange ensures a small interference contour and thus maximum freedom of movement. The compressed air supply and IO-Link control are integrated directly in the flange, which minimizes the installation effort. The flange is optionally available with a blow-out nozzle and a programming tip to extend the functionality even further.

CLEANROOM CERTIFICATIONS

PRODUCTS WITH CLASSIFICATION

TÜV-CERTIFIED AUTOMATION TECHNOLOGY

Cleanrooms are divided into special cleanroom classes depending on the particle density and emissions. They are subject to strict, standardized requirements and are classified according to the degree of air purity. The maximum permissible particle concentration and the particle size play an important role here. Cleanrooms are divided into ISO classes 1 through 9, where purity class 1 represents the purest because it has the lowest possible particle concentration. After successful certification processes, more than 500 gripper and clamping elements from the Zimmer Group have been certified for cleanroom classes 2 to 6 in accordance with the international standard DIN EN ISO 14644-1 due to their low particle emissions.

ELECTRO-PNEUMATIC POWERHOUSE

The electro-pneumatic unit can be combined with a variety of Zimmer Group products and enables the use of pneumatic products in areas where compressed air was previously not available. This opens up new possibilities in terms of design and safety and can offer a significant cost advantage.

INTEGRATED SENSING AND EXTENDABLE

The unit is specially optimized to our components with low air consumption and enables optimized and energy-saving use thanks to a dynamic pressure setting. A pneumatic pressure of between 4 and 6 bar can be selected, which is then reliably regulated and maintained thanks to integrated sensing. If you upgrade to pressure storage, this can help to reduce the process time even further.

LIGHT & COMPACT

At the same time, this light and compact unit can be positioned close to consumers, thus enabling very fast opening and closing times. Thanks to the simple control and 24V technology, our product is predestined for mobile units with a battery supply, such as driverless transport systems. In addition, various process sequences can also be implemented thanks to the controllable valves.

DESIGN INCLUDED

When integrating the electro-pneumatic unit with our components, we will be happy to offer you a design of the switching times – and for braking elements, also the calculation of the braking distance taking into account your application data.

  • Torque absorption from shafts
  • Safety clamping of the torque motor
  • C-axis clamping
  • Clamping and securing of swivel bridges
  • Clamping of the spindle swiveling axis

SIMPLE STATUS SENSING

An efficient and fast process sequence is a requirement for all of our components and the DKPS1000 is no exception to this. The DKPS1000 can make use of its full potential thanks to the optional digital sensing. Additional safeties for switching times are no longer required.

HIGH HOLDING FORCES – WITHOUT ADDITIONAL AIR AND WITHOUT COMPROMISING CYCLE STABILIITY

The DKPS1000 series not only surpasses the non-pressurized holding force of rotary clamps available on the market; it also features an increased service life compared to the benchmark. Both of these properties equally ensure enhanced safety when it comes to safeguarding rotation and swivel axes. This also increases system availability.


IO-LINK WIRELESS MODULES

ERROR-FREE communication

INTERFERENCE-FREE, SCALABLE, SECURE

Especially in robotics, the last robot axis often lacks an appropriate electrical interface for intelligent gripper components. 

And in circulating systems, which are being used more and more frequently, it is missing completely. But why resort to external cable routing along the robot arm or circulation system and live with the associated disadvantages such as restricted freedom of movement, cable breakages and sources of interference when there is a straightforward solution?

The standardized IO-Link Wireless communication modules from the Zimmer Group enable trouble-free and secure communication of IO-Link signals, without any cabling, and guarantee wireless transmission of all required signals and information.
