High precision gripprers

DE-STA-CO’s DPP parallel grippers provide excellent parallelism and ac-curacy between the gripper mounting and jaw surfaces. The series inte-grates DIRECTCONNECT™ tech-nology, allowing the grippers to be easily mounted to other modular auto-mation products without the use of adaptor plates. DPP parallel grippers use their patented “Dual-V” roller bear-ings providing low-friction, high repeat-ability and good performance in holding delicate parts. This design also allows for the implementation of longer gripper finger lengths compared to other grip-pers within the same size and weight ranges.

Hexagonal Mineral Cast Chuck

Launched in the European market in late 2007,the TOPlus Hexagonal Mineral Cast Chuck offers 25% more holding power, central lubrication, improved dampening characteristics and a clamping head that is fitted free of joints and solidly to the chuck surfaces. This revolutionary work-holding design does not allow any radial displacement between the clamping head and chuck body, also resulting in an excellent seal against contamination.

Encapsulation increases functionality

As the world’s first completely encap-sulated centric clamping device, the KONTEC KSK by SCHUNK makes malfunctions due to soiling and clamped chips a thing of the past. This design ensures total functionality and maximum process reliability – even in a rough environment. The KONTEC KSK can be operated from either side, is compact, and has a very large clamping range, and can be integrated directly into change pallets without any base body.Tel: 919.572.2705 Fax: 919.572.2818 www.schunk.com
