IPR (Intelligent Peripherals for Robots) :: High-Quality Robotic Peripherals & End-Of-Arm Tooling

IPR (Intelligent Peripherals for Robots GmbH) is a German manufacturer specializing in high-quality robotic peripherals and end-of-arm tooling. Founded more than 30 years ago and headquartered in Eppingen, Germany, the company has become a trusted global supplier of components that enhance the performance, flexibility, and reliability of industrial robots. IPR focuses on making robots “better, faster, and more flexible” by providing standardized yet highly configurable solutions for material handling, assembly, and demanding industrial applications.

IPR offers a comprehensive portfolio of robust, precision-engineered products compatible with all major robot brands. Their solutions are used across automotive, foundry, aerospace, general manufacturing, and high-temperature environments.

Key robot-based products include:

• Robot Grippers: A wide range of parallel, angular, and specialty grippers engineered for high-force, high-speed, and precise handling. They cover everything from delicate parts to heavy components.
• Robotic Tool Changers (TKX Series): The latest generation of tool changers available in pneumatic, electric, and manual versions. These provide fast, reliable tool swapping with excellent repeatability and safety features.
• 7th Axis / RTU (Robot Transfer Units): Linear positioning systems (including the new StackTrax dual-rail solution) that extend a robot’s reach, allowing it to service larger work areas efficiently.
• Load Limiters & Collision Protection: Safety devices that protect expensive tools and robots from overloads and crashes.
• Axis Compensation Modules: Modules that compensate for misalignment between robot and workpiece, improving process quality.

IPR emphasizes modularity, extreme reliability, and ease of integration. Their products are designed for tough industrial conditions, including high-temperature foundry applications. The company also offers a powerful online CAD configurator and download portal, allowing engineers to quickly access 3D models, datasheets, and technical specifications. IPR maintains strong customer support, from initial selection through integration and long-term service.
