Parallel Grippers

IRP Parallel Gripper
Heavy duty. High grip force. Long Fingers.
The IPR parallel grippers are heavy duty and rugged 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 supports allow for long tooling fingers and high moments and forces.

IPW Wide Body Parallel Gripper
Heavy duty, wide body parallel gripper. Long fingers.
The IPW parallel grippers feature a wide body design ideal for handling large and wide parts with long fingers. The jaws are supported through the full length of the body for high moment carrying capacity and are sealed against chips or particles, which makes it ideal for use in machining or foundry applications. The gripper can be supplied “non-synchronous”,
allowing for the fingers to center on the part instead of gripper centerline.

The large support areas of the support shafts allow for long fingers, high gripping forces, high loading moments, and long life in demanding production applications.

IPG Long Stroke Parallel Gripper
Heavy duty. Long stroke. Low profile.
These two parallel grippers feature a long stroke and low profile and they are often used to handle different size parts with the same fingers. IPG-120 comes in a hydraulic version where a high gripping force is needed. The jaws and supports are made of hardened tool steel and the body is made of lightweight, hard anodized aluminum.

RPW Wide Body Parallel Gripper
Long stroke. Low profile.
The RPW is a rugged design for handling large and/or wide parts that require long finger designs. With its rack and pinion synchronizer, it guarantees a long life operation. The RPW offers multiple strokes per size and non-synchronous jaw operation as well.

WG Angular Grippers
The angular grippers with 180° opening, WG-25 and WG-35, features a double rack and pinion drive which generates a constant velocity, reducing impact and vibration at end of stroke. They are primarily used for small parts handling.
The WG-80 features 3 Jaws with a 15° opening per finger.
The large angular grippers, WG-125 and WG-160, come in 2 or 3 Jaws and are used for large parts. They feature an ISO mounting flange and mount directly to the Robot without an Adapter Plate.

RA Angular Grippers
Heavy duty, over the center toggle locking angular grippers with massive gripping force used in applications where large and heavy parts must be handled. These large bore, double acting piston actuated grippers, feature slip fit dowel locating holes for accurate location of unit to mounting apparatus and jaws. Hard coat anodizing with Teflon™ impregnating ensures long life and minimal wear to gripper bodies.

HK Rubber Grip Pads for Grippers
Increased gripping friction. Protection for delicate parts.
These Grip Pads, made of perbunan bound on an aluminum plate, can be cut, bent, and drilled to conform with the shape of the part to be handled.

This is the ideal material for gripper pads when increased friction is
necessary or when the surface of the part needs to be protected.
We use a proprietary process for bonding the perbunan to the
aluminum that produces a high quality product which will not separate under stress.

FM Remote Center Compliance Device
Compensates for part misalignment during assembly.
The Remote Center Compliance units facilitate assembly and machine loading-unloading by compensating for the misalignment of parts, fixtures or trays. It reduces forces in insertion applications, avoiding excessive part and tooling wear.

The FM units will provide compensation in all directions X, Y and Z as well as rotational compliance around these axis. The maximum compensation at minimum insertion forces are indicated at the Remote Center of Compliance.

KA Lateral Compliance “X-Y” Device
Compensates for part misalignment during assembly.
The Lateral Compliance Device provides compensation for misalignment in X-Y axis with no rotation or Z axis compliance. Almost “free floating” due to very low friction forces of the roller bearings supports. Usually used with “Z-Axis” compliance or Remote Center Compliance, to facilitate insertion at assembly, palletizing, or machine load-unload. If shocks are to be expected, the use of an ULS Robot Overload Limiter is advised. The locking cylinder centers the tool plate and secures the unit during Robot rapid movement.

ZN “Z” Axis Compliance Device
Compensates for different part heights or excessive force.
The Z Axis compliance unit compensates for different heights at part placement or excessive force at insertion. The “insertion” force can be varied by using different springs or by varying the air pressure. The 4 or more guiding rods provide excellent rigidity and accuracy in the Z direction. There is no rotation or X-Y compliance. The locking cylinder can be used to lock the unit during robot motion.

ULS Robot Load Limiter
Collision protection during assembly.
The Robot Load Limiter protects the Robot, Tooling and the Part in case of collision by decoupling and sending a “Stop” signal to the Robot Controller. The built-in sensor is
very sensitive and can detect 0.002” displacement. The “Trip Point” can be adjusted by adjusting the air pressure, thus making the Robot Limiter very rigid (80psi) during fast Robot movements and softer (20psi) when necessary. In case of collision and decoupling, the ULS unit will reset automatically, due to the built in springs and overtravel limit pins, upon removal of the crash condition.

TK ISO Tool Changer
ISO Robot Tool Change Adapter.
The Tool Changer has been designed and built to meet the most stringent specifications of automobile manufacturers. The Tool Changer features a high number of Air Ports, Electric Contacts (12 or 24 pins), and Hydraulic and Water Ports for the Welding Gun Tool Changer.

The Robot Side has an ISO mounting pattern to fit the Robot Flange directly, without an additional adapter plate. The locking mechanism, with cone and several hardened balls generates a high holding force and is failsafe due to the spring behind the Locking Cylinder. It compensates for misalignment at pick up by as much as 1/8”: once the Robot Side is about 1/8” distance to the Tool Side firing the Locking Mechanism will pull up the Tool and lock it, thus allowing for faster cycle times.
