Actuated rib gripper for demoulding applications
SAS Automation is launching a new GRZ-style gripper. The GRZ 32EC-30 Actuated Rib Gripper removes automotive bumper fascias from the A side of the mould.
The gripper and cylinder assemblies are mounted on a bearing rail to help support the load of the part being pulled from the mould. The 30mm stripper stroke has adjustment capabilities by increasing or decreasing the cylinder pin to fit any size application. To relieve stress on the robot, the stripper stroke is retracted to release the part off the mould before removing the tool and part from the mould.
This GRZ gripper has a custom-mounting bracket for a perpendicular or parallel mount to accommodate specific applications.
