A company approached us with the task of selecting a pneumatic gripper for automated handling of lithium workpieces.
The equipment was planned to be used in a hot shop — under conditions of high dust levels, the presence of scale, fine industrial particles, contaminants, and elevated ambient temperature.
To solve the task, a powerful parallel pneumatic gripper VGFR136-320-S-P FOUK KIPVALVE was proposed, in a version with a dust-protection cover and IP64 protection rating.
The version with a dust-protection cover is particularly relevant for hot shops, metalworking areas, heat treatment operations, and production facilities with high concentrations of dust and scale. IP64 protection helps protect the gripper mechanism from dust ingress and provides protection against water splashes from any direction.
Parallel pneumatic grippers of the VGFR series are used in production automation systems, robotic cells, gantry systems, loading and unloading complexes, and process lines. The gripper is suitable for operations where it is necessary to reliably hold and move metal workpieces, housings, bushings, profile products, and other parts by two opposite surfaces. The series allows selection by jaw stroke, gripping force, and mass of the workpiece being moved.
Specifications of the pneumatic gripper VGFR136-320-S-P, drawings, and overall dimensions are available on our FOUK&KIPVALVE website.
Fill out the form and describe your task: specify the overall dimensions, mass, material, and temperature of the workpiece, working area conditions, required cycle, and method of movement. We will select a suitable pneumatic gripper, gripper fingers, and a solution for your automated system.
