Magnetic grippers, such as Magswitches, can handle metallic objects like metal sheets, and can carry out tasks such as de-stacking, fixture tooling and bin picking. Magnetic grippers are limited to applications involving ferrous metals.
How do I choose a gripper?
The gripper must have the ability to reach the surface of a work part. The change in work part size must be accounted for providing accurate positioning. During machining operations, there will be a change in the work part size. As a result, the gripper must be designed to hold a work part even when the size is varied.
Which is most flexible type of gripper used in industries?
The servo-electric grippers are used in industrial settings due to easy control. They are highly flexible and allow different material tolerances when handling it.
