Gripper Series carries class 10 cleanroom rating.
Press Release Summary:
Designed for FDA, medical, and cleanroom applications, RPLC parallel gripper series features external components made from corrosion-resistant materials that optimize performance in de-ionized water. Internal components are lubricated with cleanroom-grade grease, while stainless steel stationary and non-contacting shields eliminate possibility of contaminants penetrating Dual-V roller bearings. Use of non-synchronous motion allows for independent jaw motion.

DE-STA-CO Robohand Produces Gripper Series for Cleanrooms
Auburn Hills, Michigan, February 7, 2007 - DE-STA-CO Robohand's RPLC parallel gripper series is designed specifically for FDA, medical, and cleanroom applications. The new series features internal components that are lubricated with a cleanroom grade grease, as well as stainless steel stationary and non-contacting shields that eliminate the possibility of contamination penetrating the patented "Dual-V" roller bearings.
DE-STA-CO Robohand's RPLC series is class 10 cleanroom rated. The external components are made from corrosion resistant materials that maximize performance in de-ionized water for use in FDA and medical parts handling applications. The gripper's internal mechanisms are made from hardened bearing and tool steels and protected by a corrosion resistant shield. Additionally, a purge/scavenge port can be used to expel or retain contaminates using vacuum pressure.
Like many series in DE-STA-CO Robohand's parallel gripping family, RPLC parallel grippers utilize a non-synchronous motion, allowing independent jaw motion that enables picking and placing at a point other than the gripper's center. This design also allows for the implementation of longer gripper finger lengths when compared to other grippers within the same size and weight ranges.
