SERVO GRIPPERSMPLF Series with external drive
The MPLF grippers design allows the control of the gripping system by using a standard external drive.
The user can now parametrize stroke, speed and force value and implementing any other customized control algorithm with directaccess to motor phases and to the incremental encoder feedback signals direct access to motor phases and to the incremental
encoder feedback signals.
> Embedded torque brushless
motors with 24Vdc nominal
voltage.
> Can be controlled by a genericdrive compatible with Feedback
signals.
> The arbitrary choice of thedrive allows interfacing to any
Fieldbus network.
> Direct control of the motor andembedded ABZ encoder driver.
> The gripping can be done inany position that can be reachedwith the stroke of the jaws.
> The elastic element allows
secure grip of the piece ‘Soft
Touch’

Functioning
The gripper is equipped with an M12-12 pole male connector
for the power supply and the connection of the feedback
signals (HALL sensors and incremental encoder) with theexternal electronics.

Evaluation Kits
The choice of the drive is at the user's discretion. Gimatic offers two Evaluation Kits for the MPLF grippers. They include
compatible drives, wiring and operating instructions.
MPLF-KIT-01: Based on Maxon Epos4 drives. It can be configured through a Windows application and it is suitable forapplications that require a pure CanOpen slave node.
MPLF-KIT-11: Based on miControl mcDSA-E50 drive. It can be configured via a Windows application and it is suitable bothfor applications based on a Fielbus slave and for Stand-Alone applications (interfacing via I / O and / or programming withPython language).

MPCF Series with integrated drive
The MPCF collaborative gripper design with integrated drive allows a quick installation on the collaborative robot.
The user can now implement stroke, speed and force value. Communication via CANbus or RS485 Half Duplex.

> Integrated brushless motors
with 24Vdc rated voltage.
> Fieldbus standard (CAN/RS485)> Absolute encoder.
> The gripping can be donein any position that can bereached with the stroke of thejaws.
> The elastic element allows
secure grip of the piece ‘SoftTouch’.
> Smart interface for WindowsPC.

Modes of functioning
Gimatic has developed a high-level software interface to simplify the use of the device. 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 used in 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.
