Realizing "Gripping" and "Measuring" with pneumatic hands

This industrial robot plays an active role in various settings such as welding, conveyance, assembly, and inspection processes. You will most likely encounter it often in the near future. Though there are many hand units and vacuum suction pads that can be attached to the extremities of the robot, here, we will introduce a unique product.

This is the first air-driven LSHM Series with a displacement sensor built into the hand unit. It is now possible to “grip” and “measure” while maintaining the "compact", "lightweight" and "powerful" traits of pneumatic components.

It contributes to the unprecedented highly efficient equipment design, such as simultaneous conveyance and inspection, which were separate processes, and judge the type of workpiece as well as its posture at the moment it is grasped. It has a high-precision sensor that can hold thin, fine workpieces such as films and wires that were not possible with conventional cylinder switches, and can accurately determine whether the gripping of such workpieces has been missed.

It is compact and lightweight, making it ideal for the extremities of robots that are often restricted. For those who wish to solve issues with the handling of workpieces, look no further than to the Linear slide hand with Length measuring function LSHM-HP2 Series!
