robotic grippers

We develop, design and manufacture complete robotic gripper-solutions:

  • for handling of castings in foundries
  • for transport of melt from oven to die (sand-casting, die-casting, gravity casting)
  • for transport of parts in body-in-white welding lines
Our design considers:
  • cycle times, speeding-up ramps and other timing aspects
  • admissible working zones as defines by dies, tooling and fixtures
  • as well as by machines, ovens and safety fences
  • any introduction of chips or of spraying cooling water
  • special electrical connectors and thermal and water protection
  • heat radiated from ovens and melt
  • total weight of grippers, use of components out of high strength aluminium
  • maximum robot load, leverage effects and permissible accelerations
  • assembly and in-site measurement of 3D-surface-parts and -grippers
  • safety aspects of workers, safety fences
  • reliability, standard components, proven solutions
  • tool-change couplings, even complete gripper parking lots
  • complete programming of robot and gripper movements for KUKA, ABB and FANUC
  • integration of new programs in central computers for large plants
  • prevailing EU-norms and safety laws, CE-compatibility and CE-sign
  • tricks and experience from recent projects
  • tryout of new gripper systems on our own robot
We realise compact, stable and reliable solutions, even turnkey!
Our top-notch customers for complete robot-gripper-solutions are:
  • Georg Fischer
  • Volkswagen



In order to reduce weights on moving robots, we use high-strength aluminium (aircraft-aluminium):
  • from blanks or as special castings
  • we are able to bend high-strength aluminium to small radii under heat
  • we regularly use heli-coils for threads with highest "pull-out-resistance"





If
  • dimensions get very large,
  • weights become too heavy,
  • leverage effects become too strong or
  • moving parts on guide rails operate on the gripper
  • we use complex welded structures with thin walls.
