Design and Operating Principle
In robotic machine tending, the robot places the part and the chuck must clamp it automatically and accurately. Pneumatic or hydraulic actuation allows the cell controller to clamp and release.
Hardened functional parts resist wear from repeated automated cycles.
Settable control positions allow clamp status to be monitored for interlocking with the robot.
Integration and Selection
Choose 3-jaw for round parts and 4-jaw for square or irregular parts, and pneumatic or hydraulic by force needs. Interlock with the robot program.
Design jaws for the part family.
