apart from the robot itself, it utilises no other power source. With our 'media free gripper', we have developed a passive gripper system, i.e. These solutions come with a correspondingly high weight of their own and high mass inertia, and the robots that control these grippers must be dimensioned accordingly.

Gripper systems in production usually have pneumatic systems or electric motors for the grippers.

KG are looking firmly to the future, and at this year's IAA will be showing how it will soon be possible to save both energy and space in the factory of the future. With the inhouse development of an additively manufactured 'media free gripper', EDAG Production Solutions GmbH & Co. I am delighted that we can once again offer a real firework display of proactively developed technology concepts in these future fields here in Frankfurt,' declares Jürgen Vogt, CEO of the EDAG Group.

KG are continuing this success story this year with a number of projects including the in-house development of a 'media-free gripper'.įor us, lightweight design competence, car IT and production solutions remain key future-oriented subjects. Wiesbaden-based engineering specialists EDAG have already in recent years provided impressive evidence of the company's engineering skills in additive manufacturing.

As the growing number of variants continues to increase due to the alternative powertrains available, greater flexibility and above all more lightweight solutions, both for components but also in manufacturing, are called for. At the IAA in Frankfurt, the EDAG Group will be presenting not just its live engineering project #collectivio, but also seven technological innovations from the fields of lightweight design and eMobility.
