Design and Operating Principle
ML6 is Meridian Laboratory's proprietary polyurethane compound, valued for abrasion resistance, tear strength, flexibility, chemical resistance and bond strength. Parts are precision molded to final dimensions in-house, usually without grinding or post-machining, and Meridian's mold library often avoids extra tooling charges.
Sheet stock lets engineers cut custom finger pads or contact surfaces for grippers quickly.
Integration and Selection
Choose thickness and durometer, then die cut or machine to shape.
Bond to fingers with suitable adhesive or use bonded parts from Meridian.
