Linear Actuators for Grippers - Completely Autonomous System

Check out our new video and learn more about our latest solutions for lab automation and the medical industry!

  • An onboard program is used for motion control via digital I/O signals. 
  • The system is completely autonomous. 
  • Torque control limits the gripping force. 
  • The motors are running in closed-loop mode. 
  • There are no step losses, no resonances, and no risks due to overheating. 
  • The motor controllers are fully programmable.
