mpc Gripex
Bar puller that does not require equipment modification or diameter adjustment.
Gripex is used to pull materials from the chuck using coolant pressure and to transport finished workpieces. Its patented unique mechanism is characterized by a strong gripping force at low coolant pressure. **Advantages of Gripex** - Easy setup – No need to adjust for workpiece diameter as long as it is within the compatible range. - Compact and lightweight – Its small size minimizes interference, so there is no need to change the position of adjacent turret tools. - Powerful – It withstands pressures of 20 bar without the need for an additional pressure relief valve. - Gripex does not require high pressure. - Operates from 0.5 bar. (Refer to the diagram on page 9 of the catalog) - Can clamp at a very short position, very close to the chuck. - Clamps hex bars without requiring spindle orientation. - Can be used similarly to a pickup unit with robot jaws. *For more details, please refer to the PDF materials or feel free to contact us.*
basic information
【Functional Principle】 ■ Gripex operates with the coolant system of a lathe. The workpiece is clamped with the coolant ON, and the jaws are loosened with the coolant OFF. 【Maximum Allowable Coolant Pressure】 Gripex Large 20bar Gripex Small 15bar Gripex Mini 7bar ■ The tool holder supplied with coolant liquid is mounted directly onto the VDI turret. ■ The valve (screw for releasing the housing) can quickly open the jaws while the coolant system is operating. A check valve is provided to delay the pressure drop of the jaws. ■ The appropriate guide pipe inside the spindle not only prevents vibrations during rotation but also prevents excessive tilting of the bar during retraction. *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.
