The Schunk BSWS-MPG-plus standardised finger blanks feature an integrated quick-change jaw system that shortens the time for a jaw change in small parts grippers of the Schunk MPG-plus series to under 30 seconds. Compared with a conventional jaw change, the system reduces the set-up times by up to 90 percent. An easily accessible form-fit locking mechanism ensures finger change at a repeat accuracy within seconds by the 90° turn of an Allen key. Since no through-bores through the entire finger are necessary, as opposed to other standard solutions on the market, users additionally benefit from maximum freedom in the design of the finger contour: the entire length of the fingers can be adapted to the individual work-piece, without having to take into account the jaw change and the required screw connections. The finger blanks with the integrated quick-change system are available in aluminium or steel. Both the standard and precision version of the small parts gripper are available in sizes 16 to 64 with finger strokes from 1.5mm to 10mm, and gripping forces from 25 N to 350 N. The maximum part weight is between 0.13kg and 1.25kgs, depending on the size.
