FIPA Inc. Supplements Its 130 Range of Grippers


FIPA Inc. has supplemented its comprehensive range of grippers: The gripper GR04.130F launched recently has jaws that are wider than those of the other models in the 130 range of grippers to provide a secure grip. And: An inductive sensor provides a feedback signal - and, thus, achieves enhanced process safety.

The 130 family of grippers are characterized by powerful gripping of die-cast parts in the injection molding industry. These grippers exert tremendous forces as a result of the dual principle of operation and two large pneumatic plungers.

Qualities that are a standard feature of FIPA products: Robust design, reliable in the production process - quality for long-term use. These grippers rarely need to be replaced and last a long time. The high degree of wear resistance is ensured by means of the hard-coated surfaces of the grippers and the gripper jaws.

All grippers of the 130 family are very light and provide a secure and reliable hold on any work-piece as a result of the cogged surface of the gripper jaws. Slippage is ruled out. The extremely high retention force of 95 N does the rest.

Pick-and-Place solutions: FIPA products are combined using the building block system. The recently launched GR04.130 gripper forms a part of it. Threaded and compressed air connections are compatible with the other products constituting the modular system of FIPA.
