Detection of gripper state
Workpieces are picked up automatically by handling devices. A pneumatic cylinder opens and closes the gripper. The MZT8 magnetic cylinder sensor detects the final position of the pneumatic cylinder to identify that the workpiece has been picked up correctly. The signal is evaluated in the machine control.
