What are adaptive grippers and how do they work?

Adaptive grippers use a linkage-type mechanism that automatically adjusts finger position to conform to the shape of the workpiece, allowing them to securely grip round, spherical, and irregular shapes without manual reconfiguration. The DH Robotics AG-160-95 uses this design to handle diverse part sizes across a 95 mm stroke while maintaining position repeatability within ±0.03 mm.

Can the AG-160-95 gripper handle irregular shapes?

Yes, the AG-160-95 features a linkage-type adaptive mechanism specifically designed to grip round, spherical, and oddly shaped workpieces reliably. Replaceable fingertips also allow customization for specific part geometries.

What gripping force does the DH Robotics AG-160-95 provide?

The AG-160-95 delivers adjustable gripping force from 45 to 160 N, allowing secure handling of parts up to 3 kg. The force range can be tuned to match your specific workpiece requirements.

What communication protocols does the AG-160-95 support?

The AG-160-95 includes Modbus RTU and digital I/O as standard, with optional support for TCP/IP, USB 2.0, CAN 2.0A, PROFINET, and EtherCAT to integrate with a wide range of industrial controllers. This flexibility suits both new installations and equipment upgrades.

Is the AG-160-95 electric gripper waterproof?

The AG-160-95 is rated IP54, which provides protection against dust and splashing water but is not suitable for full immersion. It operates reliably in environments up to 85 percent relative humidity and temperatures from 0 to 40 degrees Celsius.

How fast is the open and close cycle on the AG-160-95?

The AG-160-95 completes a full open and close cycle in 0.9 seconds, supporting efficient pick-and-place, machine tending, and palletising workflows.

Adaptive electric gripper vs. parallel or pneumatic grippers:

The AG-160-95 uses a linkage-type adaptive mechanism to grip irregular, round, and oddly shaped parts reliably, unlike fixed-jaw parallel grippers that require parts to fit standard geometries. Choose this gripper when your parts vary in size or shape, or when you need secure handling without custom fingertip changeovers for each variant.

For round, spherical, or irregular workpieces up to 3 kg, the adaptive linkage self-adjusts across the 95 mm stroke, eliminating the need to reposition or reorient parts before gripping.
In fragile or delicate assembly tasks, adjustable force from 45 to 160 N prevents damage while maintaining ±0.03 mm repeatability for precision machine tending.
On high-mix pick-and-place lines, the replaceable fingertips allow quick customization for different parts without full gripper replacement.
In damp or washdown environments up to 85% humidity, the IP54 rating and 24 V DC electric drive outperform pneumatic grippers prone to moisture ingestion.
For integration into existing automation with Modbus RTU or EtherCAT, intelligent feedback enables real-time monitoring and adaptive force control that pneumatic systems cannot match.
