Needle grippers
FIPA needle grippers are optimized for carrying elastic or air permeable elements, such as textiles, felts or foam mats. Adjustable stroke of needle grippers allows them to adapt to different thicknesses of the transferred material. Some models are equipped with sensor sockets to detect the position of the piston and, indirectly, the position of the needle. We offer appropriate connectors and mounting brackets allowing the assembly of needle grippers to structural profiles or fixing plates.
Needle grippers GR04.700 and GR04.730
- Small needle diameter for low entry depth, blow-off function for fast product release
- Grippers with flat entry angle enables handling of thin or flat parts
- Knurled screw for stroke adjustment to textile thickness
- GR04.700: double-acting enables short duty cycles: separate compressed air connections for extraction/retraction of needles
- Additional compressed air inlet (A) for fast product release
- GR04.730: single-acting, compressed air connection for needle extraction, reset via return spring
- Stroke corresponds to maximum entry depth of needles
- Spare needle plates available as accessories
Needle grippers GR04.710 and GR04.720
- Strokes adjustable to material thickness
- Grippers for materials that are non-dimensionally stable or difficult to handle with vacuum
- Central bore hole (Ø 10 mm) to allow insertion of gripper into stack rails for pick & place
- Stroke limitation adjustable to material thickness
- Needles centrally crossed for firm grip
- Double-acting enables short duty cycles: separate compressed air connections for extraction/retraction of needles
- Needles can be individually replaced
- Spare needle sets, each containing ten pieces available
Needle grippers GR04.711
- Gripper for materials that are non-dimensionally stable or difficult to handle with vacuum
