The PPC series through-hole parallel grippers, designed to facilitate part ejection, feeding, present sensing, and cleaning, are ideal when a component ejector is needed after ungripping a part or where air is needed to blow the part center clean. The through-hole design allows for mounting of sensors to detect part presence and for feeding parts to machining centers. The series features three concentric jaws to provide repeatability, making it easier to load and unload round parts. The shielded design of the gripper protects the internal drive mechanism from chips and other particulates, making it a good choice for harsh shop floor environments. Compact and robust, the gripper works in confined spaces, combining long strokes with grip forces ranging from 201 to 974 lbs at 100 PSI. The grippers are available in three sizes and offer flexibility in that they can be mounted and operated in any direction. They come with a range of options including extended strokes, safety springs, and sensors.
