Synthetic Gripper for Complex, Sensitive Workpieces

ROHM Products of America's customizable RRMG synthetic gripper is designed to proived 30 percent more clamping force in large workpiece handling than its predecessor.

Designed for the secure gripping and clamping of complex, sensitive parts, the lightweight RRMG synthetic gripper has jaws with free-form surfaces that adapt to different workpiece geometries, whether they be round or prismatic in shape.

The RRMG has an optimized structure with reinforcements for rigidity and long service life. It can perform up to 16 million gripping cycles without experiencing wear or requiring maintenance. For maximum process control and automation, users can add optional position monitoring to the RRMG via installable sensors.

Available in two sizes with gripping forces of 80 and 152 (N), ROHM is able to customize the RRMG by developing these grippers around the 3-D workpiece models provided by customers. The company also relies on selective laser sintering to manufacture these products.

According to Ervin Vallejo, ROHM Automations Product Manager in North America, the RRMG grippers along with the company's swivel units and tool changers easily add increased reliability, productivity and profitability to automated manufacturing processes.
