Hydraulic gripper

Application

The gripper performs fully automatic workpiece replacement during the machining process on a machine tool. The change is performed from the machine tool of the milling machine and facilitates workpiece handling between the parts storage and clamping device.
It is actuated by coolant, which is routed through the machine spindle. The gripper closes hydraulically and opened using spring force.
The integrated spring-loaded CX counterbalance function protects the tool, machine spindle and workpiece and compensates for different tolerances and unevenness.

Execution

• Max. permissible rotation speed: 20 [rpm].
• Suitable for Weldon mounting and hydraulic expansion chucks.
• Designed for ambient temperatures between 0°C and 60°C.
• Transport of workpieces up to max. 8 kg.
• Available in two versions for workpiece sizes up to max. 50 mm or max. 70 mm.

Advantage

• The counterbalance function (Z: 5 mm, C: +/- 3°) optimally protects all components and compensates for different tolerances and unevenness.
• The gripping force can easily be adjusted using inductors and adapted to the respective requirements of the workpiece in this way.
• Easily exchangeable gripper inserts for handling different workpiece geometries.
• Easy implementation of unmanned shifts, ensuring greater machine utilisation and
  increased flexibility.
• Considerably reduced setup times for small to medium-sized batches.

Notes

Depending on the machine used and the operating pressure of the coolant,
three pre-configured grippers are available. During use, please observe the minimum and
maximum operating pressures.

Delivery
