SAS Automation is introducing an adjustable bag gripper for a variety of bag handling applications. This is said to eliminate the need for costly custom tooling and it can be adjusted in minutes for different production runs using a simple handwheel. It is suitable for plastic, woven cloth and paper bags containing heavy products including grain, chemicals, dog food, minerals and plastic resins.
This innovative gripper uses stainless steel fingers for both strength and their ability to withstand harsh manufacturing environments. A decker mechanism is designed into the tool to facilitate an accurate bag drop once positioned over the pallet - which is crucial for tightly packed pallets. In less than 30 seconds the tool's bag width can be changed from 12 to 21 inches.
