Precision Angular Gripper

 April 2013   PHD, Inc. introduces the new Series GRV Compact Precision Angular Pneumatic Gripper.  Modeled after the highly successful Series GRA Parallel Gripper, the Series GRV is a compact, rugged precision gripper available in four sizes that can support large moment capacities and long tooling lengths. The combination of design and features makes the GRV a superior choice for a wide variety of automation applications. A slim design allows ample space for “stacking” grippers in a confined area.  The Series GRV Gripper’s robust construction ensures long operating life. 

Precision dowel pin holes ensure the accurate alignment of tooling and gripper mounting. Internal flow control is standard, therefore no external flow control is required. The units are supplied “switch-ready” for easy integration of optional magnetic position sensing switches. A teachable two-position switch allows multiple positions on small grippers within the profile of the gripper.  Other benefits include cleanroom fluoro-elastomer seals and lube options, manifold porting, multiple mounting locations, and PHD’s superior delivery.
