The sophisticated high-performance design achieves a thickness reduction of up to approximately 40% and a weight reduction of up to 50% compared to conventional models. This gripper, made by a chuck manufacturer, realizes high restoration accuracy. The "NPGT_S series," equipped with an optional length measurement scale, enables dimension measurement of the workpiece gripping section! We propose new applications for the gripper, such as "transport + measurement inspection." Additionally, it comes with various options, including magnetic sensors, proximity sensors, and models with through holes (NPGT10).

A high-precision, high-gripping force gripper packed with the know-how of chuck makers. Its structure excels in chip prevention and maintainability, reducing the burden of maintenance on customers. It achieves a compact design that does not limit the robot's payload, enabling high-precision assembly tasks with smaller robots.

By simply replacing the master jaw of our general-purpose gripper "NTS Series," it quickly transforms into a quick jaw change gripper! Tool-less jaw replacement is possible, significantly reducing setup time during jaw changes. One set of jaws can accommodate multiple gripping diameters ranging from φ23 to φ79. *For more details, please check the video.

The Quick Plate Change Gripper "QGB Series" allows for easy plate replacement with just a simple operation of loosening the lock nut! The lightweight and compact design of the plates can be selected according to various conditions such as the shape and size of the workpiece. Since it is manually replaceable, it minimizes the number of teaching points, reducing the setup time for new workpieces! It is equipped with six grooves for mounting reed switches, allowing for the use of different sensors in the program, eliminating the need for troublesome sensor replacements.

A gripper with a large through hole, ideal for jig attachment. It features a high-rigidity body treated with hard anodizing, ensuring long life and sustained high precision over extended periods. It can securely grasp heavy workpieces with high gripping force. The compact body achieves a thinner and lighter design, allowing for disassembly and cleaning without removing it from the robot. Maintenance has also been improved.

The robot hand is equipped with a built-in scale, enabling the measurement of the workpiece gripping area. In addition to the conventional functions of "grasping" and "transporting," it now includes the function of "dimension measurement." With the ability to measure dimensions during the transport process, it is now possible to sort items based on their dimensions and conduct inspections between processes, replacing human involvement. This contributes to labor reduction and space-saving by eliminating the need for personnel involved in inspections, as well as inspection equipment, devices, and locations. *For more details, please contact us or download the catalog.*
