Gripper monitoring using the MZCG
A conveyor belt transports part A on a carrier to the desired station. A pneumatic gripper then grips part A from the carrier, while two MZCG magnetic cylinder sensors monitor whether the gripper is open or closed. Only when the gripper has gripped the workpiece does the next process step start and the gripper places the workpiece down on the designated test bench.
