Compact space-saving design
As the controller is already built into EleCylinder grippers, there is no need for external controller units. This saves space in the machine or system.

EleCylinder grippers offer many advantages that are important in industrial automation:
Compact design: As the controller is built-in, there is no need for external controller units. This results in a compact overall system and saves space in the machine or system.
Simple integration: The integration of the gripper into existing systems is simple because less external cabling and interfaces are required, which reduces installation costs.
Fast commissioning: The gripper can be commissioned relatively quickly. This saves time and reduces complexity, especially in applications in which several grippers are used.
Low cabling effort: As the controller is built into the gripper, only a 6-wire cable connection is required. This minimises potential sources of error and reduces installation costs.
In summary, EleCylinder grippers with integrated control offer easier installation, lower costs and improved system efficiency, making them an attractive option for many industrial applications.

The complete EleCylinder series is optionally available with the “3-position mode specification”. This means that stops are not only possible at the set start and end positions, but also in between.
In certain applications, the cycle time can be shortened by stopping at intermediate positions.
The hand-held programming device "Touch Panel TB-03" can communicate wirelessly with EleCylinder actuators.
This means that even axes that are already firmly installed behind covers and invisible from the outside can be reprogrammed quickly and easily.
