Five steps to building the finest grippers available. . .

Integral Jaw/Guide Shaft/Piston Assembly
A pair of ground, stainless steel guide shafts
(which double as air pistons) are press fit and-
pinned to each gripper jaw.
Jaws can be aluminum or steel. Shafts are placed
diagonally and spaced far apart for maximum jaw
stability.
Only Three Moving Parts
Two jaw units are linked by a rocker arm that
synchronizes jaw motion. The arm does not
drive the jaws so wear is minimal.
The shaft/pistons of each jaw pass freely
thru enlarged holes in its mate. "C" in the photo
indicates the opposing piston faces to which air
pressure is applied for jaw closing. "O" targets
the opposing "jaw open" faces.
Four Cylinders in Each Block are
connected by internal air passages to the "C"
and "O" piston faces shown in the step 2 photo.
Each cylinder incorporates permanently
lubricated, high-performance linear bearings
that provide clean, drip-proof operation and
allow use of a non-lubricated air supply. Opening
and closing forces are equal, allowing the
grippers to be used for both OD & ID gripping.

No Troublesome Gibs to Wear or Adjust.
Four dowel pins align the porting block
perfectly with the cylinder blocks. Eight
high-performance linear bearings guide
the four pistons through the entire length
of the gripper body. Centering accuracy is
maintained to .002" and side play is .0015"
or less per jaw. Most applications can
expect extended gripper life to 15 million High Force

LPG's Cantilevered Jaw Arrangement avoids interference

In this application an LPG Gripper is attached to a pick and place mechanism. "L shaped"
fingers attached to the gripper jaws are positioned over a product
conveyor in an automated shipping system. As each product passes
under the gripper, the "L-shaped" fingers stop it. The fingers then grasp
the product by clamping on its island area on top. Next the product is
lifted, carried over to the carton positioned on the adjacent shipping
conveyor, and placed inside.

Because the jaws must open perpendicular to the direction of conveyor travel, a
conventional gripper (shown in blue) could not be used. It would interfere with the
wall next to the carton conveyor. Only the LPG's cantilevered design permits the
gripper jaws to be positioned as required without interference.

TBF Configurations (Toolbars Both in Front) The TBF Configuration places the toolbars (jaws) in a cantile-
