New Product: High-force pneumatic grippers
The GPL Series of parallel pneumatic grippers increases payload capability of automation systems by reducing gripper weight.
Because grippers are part of the payload
robot or fixed automation system, a gripper’s mass is critical
to system cost and efficiency. The new grippers reportedly
offer the highest force-to-mass ratio through careful design
and the use of aluminum alloys with custom tempering
and heat treatment to reduce mass. In most cases, the new
materials exceed the durability of classic materials in life
tests. The design uses fewer steel fasteners than found in
conventional grippers.
