Piston Position
Reliable detection of the pneumatic piston end position in parallel grippers
Task
To ensure the piston rod is not broken, the upper and lower end positions of the piston must be detected in pneumatic grippers. The control system evaluates this signal together with the jaw/finger open-closed signal.
