This gripper is made from hard anodised wrought-aluminium alloy, which is corrosion-resistant for durability. You can assemble it in any position, making it a convenient and flexible choice. • Compatible with proximity sensor to detect the position of objects
• Lightweight at 184g to reduce strain on equipment
• Ambient operating temperature range between +5°C and +60°C to withstand harsh environments
• Gripping jaws are made from non-corrosive high-alloy steel for durability in heavy-duty applications Applications • Vehicle assembly plants
• Laboratories
• Medical technology How does a parallel gripper work? A parallel gripper like this one uses compressed air to open and close its fingers in a single motion parallel to its body. This means it's suitable for picking up and moving objects of different dimensions, making it a versatile choice.
