SMC RMHF2 Pneumatic 2-Finger Cobot Gripper for Collaborative Robots:
SMC RMHF2 is a long stroke 2 finger pneumatic gripper engineered for collaborative robots, suited for machine tending, packaging, and pick-and-place automation tasks where secure part handling and wide grip travel are required.
- 32 mm jaw stroke for handling variable part sizes
- 90 N maximum gripping force
- 0.945 kg gripper weight
- Recommended for workpieces up to 2 kg
Key Features and Industrial Benefits:
- High-precision linear guide achieves 0.1 mm repeatability, supporting reliable performance in repeated pick-and-place cycles and automated packaging lines.
- Integrated solenoid valve, auto-switch, and simplified pneumatic and electrical connections reduce air consumption up to 80% and speed up installation.
- Manual tool changer interface with dual clamper bolt locking simplifies end-of-arm tooling swap-outs for fast reconfiguration on UR, FANUC, or DENSO robotic arms.
- Rated for operation up to 50°C to support robust deployment in diverse industrial environments where temperature stability is key.
Compatibility, Use Cases, and Installation:
- Engineered for direct integration with Universal Robots, FANUC, and DENSO cobots using the standard manual tool changer gripper mounting interface.
- The 32 mm long stroke is ideal for lines requiring flexible part sizing, molded components, collaborative assembly, and universal robots pneumatic gripper applications.
Why Choose the SMC RMHF2 Pneumatic Cobot Gripper:
- Developed by SMC, leading manufacturer in pneumatic automation solutions, as part of the RMHF2 series for collaborative robotics and heavy-duty end-of-arm tooling.
- Compared to traditional 2 finger pneumatic grippers, SMC RMHF2 provides longer jaw travel, reduces connection downtime, and supports lean deployment with its single-tube air supply and integrated features.
- Optimal for automation professionals seeking a universal 2 finger cobot gripper for applications in pick-and-place, machine tending, or palletizing requiring flexibility and efficiency.
FAQs About SMC RMHF2 2-Finger Cobot Gripper:
- Is SMC RMHF2 compatible with my robot? SMC RMHF2 supports Universal Robots, FANUC, and DENSO cobots; check your robot’s end-of-arm interface for tool changer support.
- What is the gripping force of SMC RMHF2? SMC RMHF2 delivers up to 90 N of force, suitable for parts up to 2 kg with 32 mm jaw stroke.
- How do I install the gripper? Connect the manual tool changer, supply air and electrical lines, and follow the included setup instructions for sensor and valve wiring.
- Why choose a pneumatic cobot gripper over electric? Pneumatic grippers like SMC RMHF2 offer faster actuation and lower energy consumption in high-throughput lines versus electric models.
- Can it handle irregular part sizes? Yes, the 32 mm long stroke accommodates variable workpieces common in molding and packaging lines.
- What does 'repeatability' mean in the context of this gripper? Repeatability refers to the gripper’s ability to return to a specific position within 0.1 mm, which is essential for precise pick-and-place automation.
- What is a 'solenoid valve' in a pneumatic gripper? A solenoid valve is an electronically controlled component that manages compressed air flow to actuate the gripper jaws.
- What is end-of-arm tooling (EOAT)? EOAT refers to the tools, such as grippers, mounted to the end of a robot arm for handling, assembly, or manipulation tasks.
SMC RMHF2 vs Competing 2-Finger Pneumatic Grippers:
- Compared to conventional two-finger cobot grippers, SMC RMHF2 pneumatic gripper offers greater stroke for larger workpiece compatibility and more efficient air consumption through its integrated solenoid and one-tube air line design.
- The SMC RMHF2 is particularly suitable for users prioritizing fast setup and universal collaborative robot integration, while some electric grippers offer built-in force control but with less speed in high-cycling automation.
