Typical Applications
Rotate parts during pick-and-place
Gripping and unlimited 360° rotation are combined in a single actuator, so the workpiece can be turned to the required assembly angle while it is being transferred. This eliminates a separate rotary mechanism along with its wiring and control axis.
Assembly stations requiring angular positioning
With rotation repeatability of ±0.05° and position repeatability of ±0.02 mm, it handles tasks that require consistent angles, such as inserting orientation-sensitive parts or aligning parts before fastening.
Flipping and multi-side imaging at inspection stations
A max. rotation speed of up to 2160°/s and an unlimited rotation angle let the workpiece rotate continuously at an inspection station to capture images from multiple angles, without returning to the origin.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is the rotation angle of the RM-RGM limited? Can it rotate continuously in one direction?
There is no angle limit: both minimum and maximum rotation angles are unlimited, and it can rotate continuously in the same direction. Rotational repeatability is ±0.05°, and maximum rotation speed is 1000, 1100 or 2160°/s depending on the model. This lets stations that need to rotate parts during pick-and-place eliminate a separate rotary mechanism and its wiring.
How do I choose between the three RM-RGM models?
RM-RGM-0606-360-16-02-ITG has an adjustable stroke of 0~16mm, gripping force of 4~24N, fastest open/close of 0.15 s, rated torque of 0.2 N·m and weight of 0.42kg, suitable for small, lightweight workpieces. RM-RGM-0606-360-32-04-ITG increases the stroke to 0~32mm, with gripping force of 30~100N, rated torque of 0.4 N·m and weight of 0.7kg. RM-RGM-0609-360-32-08-ITG has the same stroke and gripping force as the previous model, but rated torque rises to 0.8 N·m, peak torque to 1.5 N·m and maximum rotation speed to 2160°/s, with a weight of 1.1kg; it suits rotation tasks with heavier loads or shorter cycle time requirements.
What should I check regarding rotation when selecting an RM-RGM?
In addition to gripping force, confirm the inertia of the rotating load and the required torque. Maximum allowable inertia is 100 kg/mm² (0606-360-16-02) or 200 kg/mm² (the other two models), rated torque is 0.2~0.8 N·m and peak torque is 0.35~1.5 N·m. The workpiece weight at the gripping end and its distance from the rotation center both affect the actual inertia, so we recommend sending us the workpiece configuration so we can help with the calculation.
What are the control method and power requirements of the RM-RGM?
The controller is built in and supports the Modbus RTU fieldbus protocol. Rated voltage is DC24V ±10%, rated current is 1.8A (2A for the 0609-360-32-08), and peak current is 4A. Operating environment is 0~40°C, 85%RH or less (non-condensing), protection rating is IP40, and position repeatability is ±0.02mm.
