Pneumatic palletizing grippers
Pneumatically actuated mechanism to clamp bags, boxes and objects from the sides, keeping bag, box and object and tool centered to prevent misalignment and maintain palletizing consistency. These clamps are manually adjustable to accommodate different bag widths.
The grippers are hard coated for protection in extreme environments.
Advantages
- A sensor to verify presence / absence of the bag in the gripper.
- Capable of 20+ cycles per minute, dependent upon robot and distance traveling.
- Pre-configured for robots with an ISO 125 bolt pattern for tool mounting or many other options but able to be used without a robot and all I/O included for ease of integration.
- All electrical interconnections between the valves, sensors and the junction box as well as the electrical cable and connector are provided for easy robot integration.
