Miniature grippers can be equipped with sensors

Even though the gripper is no bigger than a fingernail, the stroke position can be monitored by sensors. Normally position monitoring for small grippers is difficult, but it can be done in this case with inductive sensors (diameter 3 or 4mm).

The new sizes are distinguished, just like all MPG grippers, by very low internal friction. This ensures smooth actuation of the gripper, hence increasing tool life – precise guidance and gripping are assured.
