New product release! NGM18 series integrated electric gripper is upgraded!
With the continuous development and deepening of industrial automation, electric grippers, as important components in industrial automation production lines, are commonly seen in industries such as automotive manufacturing, food processing, electronic appliances, logistics, and medical equipment. Their performance is directly related to production efficiency and product quality.
In practical applications, we often encounter many problems. For example, traditional electric grippers are usually designed for specific workpieces, with relatively fixed clamping methods and ranges, making it difficult to adapt to workpieces of different shapes, sizes, and weights. In some scenarios with high precision requirements, the accuracy and stability of electric grippers may not meet the requirements, leading to inaccurate clamping or shaking during the gripping process, thus affecting production efficiency and product quality. Additionally, traditional electric grippers have complex structures, making maintenance and upkeep relatively cumbersome.
To address these pain points and needs, we have continuously improved and innovated electric grippers in terms of technology R&D and product design, upgrading the NFM series to the NGM series. The new products have been further improved in clamping force, transmission structure, and other aspects, meeting a wider range of application needs.
Let's take a look at the features and functions of the upgraded products!
1. Highly Integrated Design
The NGM series electric grippers are very compact and feature an integrated design, combining the motor, clamping mechanism, gripper fingers, and aviation plug wiring into a single unit. This design not only simplifies the structure but also improves overall operational efficiency, allowing easy installation and deployment in space-constrained environments, providing great convenience for small-device applications.
In addition, the NGM series electric grippers use aviation plug cables for wiring, greatly enhancing wiring reliability and preventing disconnection even in high-intensity working environments. This integrated drive control design, combined with simple wiring, not only improves electric gripper performance but also injects new vitality into the development of industrial automation.
2. High Precision and High Reliability
The NGM series electric grippers feature high-precision gripping and placement capabilities, ensuring stable performance over long-term operation regardless of complex working conditions.
During the gripping process, regardless of the workpiece's size, shape, or weight, the gripper can accurately identify and stably grip the target object. During placement, the gripper can precisely place the object at the designated position according to preset trajectories and positions, with minimal error.
3. More Robust Clamping Structure
In the field of industrial automation, the performance of the clamping structure directly affects the efficiency and stability of the entire production line. Traditional gripper heads, due to design limitations and fragile internal structures, often cannot withstand excessive external forces, especially in high-load, high-intensity working environments. Once subjected to excessive external impact, the internal moving parts of the gripper head, especially key components like ball bearings, may suffer irreversible damage, affecting the stability and accuracy of the entire clamping structure.
To solve this problem, the NGM series electric grippers have been fully upgraded. The newly designed clamping structure uses stronger materials and more reasonable mechanical design, allowing the gripper head to withstand greater external forces and more complex working environments. At the same time, the new clamping structure can accommodate larger gripper arms and longer lever arms, further expanding the product's application scenarios and meeting more user needs.
4. Supports CANopen / RS485 Bus Communication
The NGM series electric grippers support both CANopen and RS485 bus communication protocols. CANopen, as a widely used high-performance communication protocol, provides a stable and reliable data transmission channel for electric grippers with its high real-time performance, high reliability, and strong scalability. The RS485 bus, with its long transmission distance and high transmission speed, provides strong support for gripper applications in large industrial sites.
By supporting these two bus communication protocols, electric grippers can be easily integrated into various industrial automation systems, achieving seamless connection and efficient collaboration with other devices. This not only improves production efficiency and reduces maintenance costs but also provides strong support for the intelligent and automated development of industrial production.
5. Multiple Motion Control Modes
The NGM series electric grippers not only support basic motion control functions but also provide a variety of advanced control modes, including:
Profile Position Mode (PP)
Profile Velocity Mode (PV)
Profile Torque Mode (PT)
Velocity Mode (VM)
Interpolation Mode (IP)
Homing Mode (HM) (including switch homing and stall homing)
Cyclic Synchronous Position Mode (CSP)
Cyclic Synchronous Velocity Mode (CSV)
Cyclic Synchronous Torque Mode (CST)
These advanced control modes provide users with more flexible and precise motion control solutions, enabling the electric grippers to adapt to the needs of various application scenarios and achieve efficient and reliable industrial automation control.
6. Dedicated Host Computer Debugging Software, Easy Operation
With the support of our self-developed NiMStudio host computer debugging software, the NGM series electric grippers demonstrate even better performance and higher efficiency.
The debugging software features an intuitive and user-friendly interface with powerful functions, making the debugging and operation of electric grippers simpler and faster. Through the software, users can easily set various parameters of the gripper, including motion speed, clamping force, etc., to meet the needs of different working scenarios.
At the same time, the software provides real-time monitoring functions, displaying the gripper's working status and performance data in real time, helping users identify and solve problems promptly. With this self-developed host computer debugging software, the debugging and operation of electric grippers become not only faster and more efficient but also more flexible, meeting the needs of more complex and changeable industrial automation applications.
