Rochu control units for soft grippers
The range at a glance

Active or passive: how to choose

  • Active units (ACU2) have a built-in air source, so the gripper runs without a compressed-air line.
  • Passive units (PCU2, iPCU2) and the micro unit (LCU-H) work from your plant's compressed-air supply.
  • For robot or PLC integration, check the control modes: ACU2, PCU2 and iPCU2 take I/O signals, and ACU2 and PCU2 also support Modbus.

FAQ

Still unsure? Ask an engineer.

What is the difference between an active and a passive Rochu control unit?

An active unit such as the ACU2 has its own air source built in. A passive unit such as the PCU2 or iPCU2 regulates air from your compressed-air supply. Both drive all Rochu beaks and fingers.

Can a Rochu control unit be controlled from a robot or PLC?

Yes. The ACU2, PCU2 and iPCU2 accept I/O signals from a robot or PLC. The ACU2 and PCU2 also support Modbus, and the ACU2 accepts an analog signal.

Which unit suits a compact cell?

The iPCU2 and the LCU-H micro unit are the smallest. Both mount on a DIN rail, and the LCU-H can also be fixed by plane or flange holes.
