Sheet Metal Gripper

Introduction to Sheet Metal Gripper

Sheet Metal Gripper is the universal solution for press shop gripping applications. The gripper accelerates your press tending productivity with a lighter, faster and highly flexible gripper that can accommodate most press shop needs. The features easy in-field jaw reconfiguration, adjustable opening angle, multipoint sensing and minimal field maintenance.

Working Principle

Magnetic grippers function by generating a magnetic field that attracts and holds ferromagnetic materials. There are three main types based on their operating principle:

1. Permanent Magnet Grippers – Use fixed magnets to generate constant magnetic force. They are energy-efficient and maintain grip even during power loss but require a mechanical system to release parts.

2. Electromagnetic Grippers – Use electric current to create a magnetic field. The grip can be activated or deactivated instantly by controlling the current flow.

3. Electro-permanent Magnet Grippers – Combine both technologies, allowing strong holding power without continuous energy consumption and offering controllable magnetic release.

The choice of gripper depends on factors such as load weight, part geometry, required holding force, and cycle time.
