The ads-tec double claws easily handle even larger cast parts like gearboxes or cylinder heads. These claws make it easy to implement loading systems, e.g. for robots or large milling machines. The claws are designed with all required functions, sensors, actuators and valves integrated in the claw. Machine operation only requires connecting a Profibus cable, a pneumatic hose and (or) a hydraulic line. This allows for extremely rapid changeover of an entire claw or subcomponent.

The flexible clamping module is another mechatronic component of the ads-tec claw. It picks up workpieces by inserting an expansion element in its bore. This technology is entirely integrated in the module. From the outside, only the compressed air hose and a cable for the ASI bus is visible. The entire pneumatic hose system and wiring is completely hidden inside the module. Because there are only two connectors, the clamping module can easily be installed. An expansion element is used to expand the claw finger. The claw finger is equipped with a quick connector to accommodate changes in diameter during setups.
