Electric Quick Changer
Quick changers are used for minimizing tool changing times.
They feature built-in air channels and modular electrical connectors. Gimatic’s EQC electric quick changers areautomatic tool changers driven by a built-in electric motor. They are plug-and-play devices and therefore require
no driver.

EQC

The EQC electric quick changer family is available forapplications with automatic change of gripping element.
The system consists of an active part (side A) and a passive
mechanical tool plate (side B). The active part is usuallyconnected to a robot’s wrist while one or more flange areconnected to the interchangeable gripping elements.

Gimatic has developed a high-level software interface. The interface consists in a Windows application and a firmware(Middleware) based on predefined macros that can be easily recalled from an external Master. The gripper can be usedin two ways:• With Gimatic Middleware: to test, configure and use the gripper in a simplified way. Possibility of using the Smartinterface for Windows PC to configure and store movement recipes.
• Without Gimatic Middleware: The gripper is used in realtime as a generic device adhering to the CANopen DS-402
standard for high performance applications.

GMP Kit Gripping Solutions
Gimatic electric grippers can operate in environments characterised by a high standard of cleanliness and hygiene
by integrating the KIT-GMP-G. An adapter enables fastening the electric gripper to a robot interface (not included)
and protecting its operation by means of a sterilisable silicone cover.

GMP• Cover made in Wacker’s Silpuran® silicone, compliant
with FDA 21 CFR 177.2600* and FDA/EHEDG approved.
• Is compatible with the MPPM/MPXM/MPLM grippers.
These grippers differ in stroke length and gripping force tomeet the needs of different customers.
•The GMP kit can also be used with the MPLF/MPCF servogrippers.
• Thanks to the transparent cover, the LEDs of the internalsensors are easy to read.
• Hygienic design surfaces preventing the build-up ofbacteria.
• Easy fastening of gripping fingers with anti-rotation
system.

> Compatible with hydrogen
peroxide (VHP-H2O2) and UV
cleaning procedures.
> Gimatic’s GMP kits
are certified by the IPA
Fraunhofer Institute in
Stuttgart.

CapBox - Capacitor Box
Capacitor Box allows a correct functionality of Gimatic‘s electric grippers in all the cases where power supply islimited in peak current (for example some collaborative robots).

CAPBOX•2 models available (one for grippers size 16 and25, one for grippers size 32).
•Compatible with all Gimatic electric actuators.
•Compact dimensions.
•Embedded connection of power supply, commandsignal and additional I/O.
•Plug & Play connection with standard M8 8-pin
connectors and angular M8 3-pin/4-pin connectors(depending on the version).

Electrical Connections>

The Capacitor Box circuit has an
input side and an output side. The
input side allows for connection ofpower supply, command signal andauxiliary I/O by a M8-8pin female
connector. The output side allows
for direct connection of 3 or 4 pins
Plug & Play grippers‘ models. Default
configuration is with both input andoutput command signals in NPN
version.

>The user can customize configuration
by simply modifying electricalconnections according to following
table.
