Gripper Fingers feature carbon fiber bodies.

Suited for high-speed production runs requiring lightweight tooling, Series GRF and GRW feature 20 mm clamping diameter and are available with carbon fiber body and aluminum head and connector bottom. Lightweight carbon fiber minimizes weight of shaft and robot wear and tear. Flex of carbon fiber, or strength being measured in modulus of elasticity, is up to 3 times that of aluminum.

Grippers (Tools)

Grippers serve as robot hands in automated motion devices.

Grippers, offered in 2- and 3-finger variations, simulate motion of human hands in parts handling applications. Mounted to any motion device or used as hands on robots, products operate on plant air and feature double acting drive motion for gripping parts externally or internally. Inlet pressure may be reduced to handle fragile parts. Fingers can be fabricated to conform to special shapes, and...

Robot System provides precise, repeatable wafer handling.

Automated edge-grip system provides safe 300 mm wafer handling. Smart robot can see and measure environment with built-in optical sensor in end-effector and self-teach functionality. It detects wafer presence, measures wafer position, and calculates wafer center with 0.005 in. accuracy. Wafer is picked up and moved back before precisely controlled actuator is deployed to secure wafer against rest...
