POWERFUL PERFORMANCE AND FLEXIBILITY WITH GRIPPERS OF THE 6000 SERIES
Experience the high quality of these electric grippers for yourself! The 6000 series grippers by Zimmer Group can be flexibly positioned, have a high power density and feature a remarkably long service life (up to 5 million maintenance-free cycles). An individual force setting as well as position and speed control optimize the grippers of the 6000 series for use in sensitive, process-reliable areas, such as in labs or the medical field. IO-Link compatibility and storage of up to 32 workpieces offer maximum flexibility. From powerful handling with a mechanical self-locking mechanism to sensitive precision, grippers from the 6000 range can be used in versatile applications and across various industries.
6000 product range
Looking for grippers with a high power density or for sensitive, rapid handling? The 6000 series from Zimmer Group offers you flexible solution components for your requirements. Your advantages include:
- Electric and positionable – for flexible handling
- Up to 5 million cycles without maintenance – for smooth production
- Up to 32 workpieces can be stored
- Integrated position sensing via IO-Link
- Force version -03 for heavy workpieces; sensitive version -31 for precise gripping
Gripping force retention as standard
Safety in production as standard! Gripper version -03 of the 6000 series is equipped with a self-locking mechanism as standard. This ensures that the workpiece is held securely in the gripper and the safety of people, workpieces and the system in production is still guaranteed even in case of a power failure or emergency stop.
MECHANICAL EMERGENCY RELEASE
The 6000 series has a mechanical emergency release - an important safety feature! The gripper can be opened manually even in the event of a system or power failure. By means of an externally accessible screw, the worm of the self-locking gear can be moved, the gripper opened and workpieces removed. In doing so, the emergency release also ensures improved work safety if, for example, in the event of an emergency stop due to personal injury, the grab must be opened even without power. Maximum safety for man and machine.
Protected from external influences
Different application areas place a variety of requirements on the components. With the IP54 protection class, they are protected against both the ingress of spray water as well as dust. To further minimize wear on grippers in an adverse environment, the 6000 series can also be equipped with a protector. A mechanical structure on top of the gripper offers protection against external influences, such as water- and oil-based cooling lubricants.
Clean room class 4
We guarantee reduced particle emissions for all 6000 series grippers. The entire series is TÜV-certified in accordance with DIN EN ISO 14644-1, making it suitable for clean room class 4. As a result, the grippers are ideal for sensitive applications in the electrical industry, in the medical field and in a lab environment where clean room classes are required.
UL certification for the North American market
The world's first gripper with UL certification not only guarantees compliance with the highest safety standards, but also that the grippers meet the regulatory requirements in North America. This saves time and costs during project planning and machine acceptance and ensures the smooth use of our components in production plants. With this certification, we offer you a decisive competitive advantage: safety, efficiency and confidence in the quality of our products.
Safe Torque Off for maximum safety
Especially in the area of collaborative robotics, which is frequently employed in labs, the safety of employees is the top priority. That is why the 6000 series features the Safe Torque Off (STO) safety function over a separate line with two safe NC contacts. This means that in an emergency the power supply to the drive is interrupted at the gripper, immediately making it torque-free. Movement is possible again after the contacts close without any restart time. This function is available as an option and corresponds to stop category 0 in accordance with EN 60204-1, offering reliable protection against unintentional injuries.
IO-Link on board
To integrate Zimmer Group components into your system without hassle, we rely on IO-Link compatibility. IO-Link is the transmission technology of the future and offers you a variety of advantages in the world of Industry 4.0. We thus guarantee easy implementation and hotplug-capable control – and what's more, a total of 32 workpiece data sets can also be programmed into the grippers. Furthermore, IO-Link enables integrated position sensing.
THE RIGHT GRIPPER FOR YOUR APPLICATION
Sensitive handling of fragile vials? Or powerful gripping of metal workpieces? With the grippers from the 6000 series, we offer you a variant that is coordinated to your requirements. The electric drive and free positionability offer maximum flexibility for a smooth production process at the standard of Industry 4.0.
GEH6000-31-B
Precise
The brushless drive technology and integrated transmission enable the highest level of setting precision on the gripper and make the GEH6000-31-B ideal for handling more sensitive materials, such as in the food or pharmaceutical industries.
Fast
A servo drive with integrated controller guarantees maximum functionality and individualized control of the speed – for rapid sequences of automated movements.
GEH6000-03-B
Powerful
The precise T-Slot guide ensures that high forces and torques are absorbed, while the rack and pinion gear enables high force transmission. The GEH6000-03-B version is thus ideally suited for gripping heavy workpieces.
SMART COMMUNICATION MODULE
- Translates IO-Link to digital inputs and outputs (digital I/O), as well as from digital I/O to IO-Link
- Very easy control of intelligent IO-Link grippers via 24 V digital I/O
- Configuration and training is done with the associated intuitive guideZ software
- Can be used with one or two grippers, depending on the required flexibility
- Up to 15 different workpieces can be taught in for one gripper
