Product Information

Full details

This Festo HGPT-35-A-B-G2 parallel gripper is designed for technical buyers needing a precise and durable gripping solution in demanding industrial environments. Its key benefit is the reliable and controlled gripping of external and internal parts with its 8mm per jaw stroke, enhanced by position sensing compatibility and a gripping force backup. A potential caveat is the need for compatible proximity sensors for full automation integration.

FAQs

What is the gripping force of this gripper?

The gripping force is dependent on the supplied air pressure. Specific force calculations can be found in the detailed technical documentation provided by Festo.

Can I use this gripper for external gripping?

Yes, this double-acting parallel gripper is designed to handle both external and internal gripping tasks.

What type of proximity sensors are compatible?

The gripper is designed to accommodate standard inductive proximity sensors. Consult the product manual for exact specifications and recommended sensor models.

How do I reset the gripping force backup?

The gripping force backup is an inherent feature. It engages automatically when closing. For actuation, ensure proper air pressure is supplied.

What is the expected lifespan of the gripper?

Lifespan varies greatly with application and maintenance. However, with proper care, regular maintenance, and use within specifications, the gripper is designed for long-term industrial use, enhanced by its sealing air protection.

Does this gripper require lubrication?

Refer to the official Festo maintenance manual for specific lubrication requirements. Some components may benefit from periodic lubrication, while others are self-lubricating.

What is the operating temperature range?

Please consult the technical specifications sheet for the precise operating temperature range for this model.

Troubleshooting

Gripper fails to actuate (open or close)

Check compressed air supply for pressure and flow. Verify all pneumatic connections are secure and leak-free. Ensure control signals are correctly sent to the pneumatic valves.

Gripper has reduced gripping force

Inspect air supply for consistent pressure. Check for internal leaks within the gripper or pneumatic lines. Ensure the jaws are not obstructed and are moving freely.

Proximity sensors not detecting jaw position

Confirm sensors are correctly installed and aligned. Verify sensor type is compatible and wiring is correct. Check sensor settings and air gap.

Gripper slow to open or close

Inspect air lines for restrictions or kinks. Check for internal friction or contamination within the gripper mechanism. Ensure adequate air flow rate.

Excessive dust or debris entering the gripper

Verify the sealing air connection is active and correctly supplied. Inspect seals for damage and replace if necessary. Ensure the surrounding environment is as clean as possible.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • High precision due to T-slot guidance.
  • Reliable part handling with gripping force backup.
  • Adaptable to automation systems with sensor compatibility.
  • Durable construction for challenging environments.
  • Versatile for both internal and external gripping tasks.

Cons

  • Requires compatible proximity sensors for full positional feedback.
  • Specific stroke length (8mm per jaw) may not suit all applications.
  • Primary function is pneumatic; requires an air supply system.
  • Maintenance may require specialized knowledge for optimal performance.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: Connect the gripper to a suitable compressed air supply (ensure pressure is within specified limits) using appropriate pneumatic fittings. The double-acting nature requires connections for both opening and closing actuation. Mount the gripper securely to its intended location using the integrated mounting points. For applications requiring position feedback, install compatible proximity sensors into the designated slots.

Compatibility: This gripper is designed for pneumatic operation and requires a clean, dry compressed air supply. It is compatible with standard proximity sensors that fit within the T-slots for position monitoring. Ensure that the gripping force and stroke are suitable for the parts being handled.

Care: Regularly inspect the gripper for any signs of wear or damage. Keep the exterior clean, and ensure that the air supply lines are free of debris. For optimal performance and longevity, periodic checks of the sealing air system and its connections are recommended. Avoid exposing the gripper to corrosive chemicals or extreme temperatures outside its operating range. Refer to the official Festo documentation for detailed maintenance schedules and lubrication guidelines if applicable.
