A lightweight micro gripper —the MGR5 micro-gripper from SMAC — is for small and fragile part assembly.  The MGR brings operation force 10 gram or less capability into range.  Light moving mass reduces impact force during small product placement. MGR5 Specs:

• Compact and lightweight
• Light force capability 10g or less
• Soft-Land capability for pick and place of delicate and fragile parts
• Each jaw can be independently controlled in force, position and velocity
• 5 micron linear encoder standard, 1 micron optional

SMAC electric grippers incorporate programmable speeds, positions and forces with data feedback.  The ability to independently control each jaw allows precise force control, measurement and positioning.  This makes them ideal for a wide range of positioning, measuring, and inspection applications, particularly where 100% verification is required.
