3-Jaw Concentric Grippers
Series GD300
- Extremely robust T-Slot guide for maximum forces and moments capacity
- Available with optional dust cover for use at extreme conditions
2-Jaw Parallel Grippers
Series GP400
- High gripping force as a result of optimal direction change of driving force into gripping force

Challenge
In the production of garage doors by Europe's largest garage door manufacturer, steel shafts needed to be supplied to a MAG welding system. Harsh ambient conditions and rapid cycle times posed a particular challenge.
Solution
The solution was a triple gripper for various steel shaft types. The gripper can grab using both the front and the longitudinal sides. The use of rugged standard grippers ensures a long service life with maximum process reliability.
