SAS
Automation provides more EOAT gripping options, with
the introduction of a new lightweight gripper arm.
This gripper arm is uniquely designed with Delrin
& aluminum to keep the tool lightweight,
electrically insulated and wear resistant. The part is
ideal for tools requiring an electrostatic charge or
using IML (In Mold Labeling).
This SAS gripper arm is
internally spring-loaded for part compliance. The
internal spring prevents contamination from the
process or production environment. A threaded shaft
with jam nuts allows for easy plate mounting of the
gripper arm. The gripper is also end ported for vacuum
and keeps fittings away from other components such as
vacuum cups.
According to John
Westbeld, Engineering Manager for SAS Automation "Adding
this lightweight, yet durable gripper arm is one more
way that SAS is helping processors to reduce robot
wear and tear."
