Electric Miniature Sheet Metal Gripper With Fast Opening

Introduction to Sheet Metal Gripper

Sheet metal grippers stand as the universal solution for press shop gripping operations and the ideal choice for robotic part handling applications. Engineered with a lightweight structure, they effectively boost press tending productivity and enable high transfer speeds in stamping press scenarios. For harsh welding environments, enclosed gripper models are available to adapt to demanding working conditions. Equipped with a specialized internal mechanism, these grippers will remain closed and avoid accidental opening in the event of air supply loss. Boasting a lightweight and compact profile, modular opening designs, diverse grip styles and multiple contact points, they also support convenient in-field jaw reconfiguration, adjustable opening angles, multipoint sensing and minimal field maintenance. In addition, the hot metal options of the pneumatic gripper system deliver a versatile and rugged gripping solution for high-temperature applications. Developed to handle hot metal up to 1650 °F (900 °C), this configuration is perfectly suitable for clamping hot materials including sheet metal and plastics, as well as for thermoforming applications. With regular and flanged claws that fit various material thicknesses, the hot metal gripper can be flexibly configured to tackle a wide range of application challenges.
