Robot-Grippers

We develop, design and manufacture complete robot-gripper-solutions:

• for handling of castings in foundries
• for transport of melt from oven to die (sand-casting, die-casting, gravity casting)
• for transport of parts in body-in-white welding lines

Our design considers:

• cycle times, speeding-up ramps and other timing aspects
• admissible working zones as defines by dies, tooling and fixtures
• as well as by machines, ovens and safety fences
• any introduction of chips or of spraying cooling water
• special electrical connectors and thermal and water protection
• heat radiated from ovens and melt
• total weight of grippers, use of components out of high strength aluminium
• maximum robot load, leverage effects and permissible accelerations
• assembly and in-situ measurement of 3D-surface-parts and -grippers
• safety aspects of workers, safety fences
• reliability, standard components, proven solutions
• tool-change couplings, even complete gripper parking lots
• complete programming of robot and gripper movements for KUKA, ABB and FANUC
• integration of new programs in central computers for large plants
• prevailing EU-norms & safety laws, CE-compatibility and CE-sign
• tricks and experience from recent projects
• tryout of new gripper systems on our own robot

We realise compact, stable and reliable solutions, even "turn-key"!

Our top-notch customers for complete robot-gripper-solutions are:

• George Fischer
• Volkswagen

In order to reduce weights on moving robots, we use high-strength aluminium (aircraft-aluminium):

• from blanks or as special castings
• we are able to bend high-strenght aluminium to small radii under heat
• we regularly use heli-coils for threads with highest "pull-out-resistance"

Sometimes;

when dimensions get verly large

when weights become too heavy

when leverage effects become too strong

when moving parts on guide rails operate on the gripper

then we use complex welded structures with thin walls:
