Precigrip assembly boy

Building grippers doesn't have to be complicated - with the Montageboy and the PreciGrip modular gripper system, building grippers is child's play. This innovative combination enables practical, efficient implementation and forms the simulation environment for the interaction of handling, gripper, injection mould and injection moulding machine.

The Montageboy provides a stable base: the component to be handled is clamped on the fixed side. The gripper can be mounted directly on the component on the moving side. The moving unit can be moved precisely to the component using an integrated guide system. A gripper changing system ensures that the gripper base plate is seamlessly integrated both in the assembly boy and later in the handling system of the injection moulding machine.

The gripper base plate forms the centrepiece of the gripper assembly. The PreciGrip profiles are securely fastened to it using cross or parallel connectors. Individual AGS actuators can then be flexibly attached to the profile frame:

- Vacuum cups for easy handling of smooth or grained surfaces,
- Gripper fingers for gripping behind components when the suction gripping force is not sufficient,
- Gripping tongs for targeted gripping of sprues or delicate component areas,
- Parallel grippers for centric gripping of metal inserts,
- Inner bellows grippers for gripping in bores,
- Textile grippers for handling flexible parts,
- Sprue cutters for cutting sprues,
- part checks for monitoring the presence of components or inserts.

All these components can be flexibly attached to the profiles using versatile gripper arms and clamping pieces. This allows the actuators to be positioned exactly where they are needed on the component. The result: a customised gripper that is optimally adapted to the requirements of the respective handling process.
