Its most distinguishing features include a flexible outer skin with curved edges, integrated protection against workpiece loss and an LED panel that supports gripper-to-human communication.
According to Schunk, the Co-act JL1 always detects contact with humans and will never cause injury when gripping. A safe drive provides for both a wide gripping force range and functional safety. If a process is interrupted, such as in the case of an emergency stop, the part will remain in a reliable grip. With the help of a special sensor, the gripper continuously detects factors in its environment and processes the data using integrated software. If it comes into unwanted contact with humans, it automatically limits its gripping force.
