Robohand Introduces the B-Series Industrial Parallel Grippers
Madison Heights, Michigan, August 23, 2005 - Robohand (Monroe, Conn.), a DE-STA-CO company, announces the launch of its new B-Series Industrial Parallel Grippers. The B-Series grippers are offered in three styles (the BPW, BRP and BPG), and cover a wide range of applications to handle bigger/heavier parts and assemblies.
The first of the B-Series are the BPW Parallel Grippers. These feature a wide body that is ideal for handling large and wide parts using long fingers. The jaws are supported through the full length of the body for high moment carrying capacity. They are also sealed against chips or particles, handle high grip forces and offer a non-synchronous option.
Next is the BRP Parallel Grippers, the heavy duty series. Their rugged design makes for reliable operation in real life industrial operations. Sealed jaws protect the internal mechanism from chips and coolant in machining applications. Hardened tool steel jaws and support allow for long tooling fingers and high moments and force. The ruggedly designed BRP grippers also offer an optional spring open or close.
The third style, the BRP Parallel Grippers, feature a long stroke and low profile. The BRP Grippers can be used to handle different size parts with the same fingers. The jaws and supports are made of hardened tool steel and the body is made of lightweight hard anodized aluminum.
"Our B-Series Grippers were created to address the need for handling bigger and heavier assemblies, as more robots are capable of handling heavier payloads," says Umesh Cooduvalli, Robohand Product Director, DE-STA-CO.
