April Product Spotlight

 

Introducing the new Series GRV Compact Precision Angular Pneumatic Gripper!

 

The Series GRV is a compact, rugged precision gripper available in four sizes that can support large moment capacities and long tooling lengths. The combination of design and features makes the GRV a superior choice for a wide variety of automation applications. A slim design allows ample space for "stacking" grippers in a confined area.

 

The Series GRV Gripper features:

  • robust construction to ensure long operating life
  • precision dowel pin holes to ensure the accurate alignment of tooling and gripper mounting
  • standard internal flow control, with no external flow control required
  • "switch-ready" for easy integration of optional magnetic position sensing switches
  • a teachable two-position switch that allows multiple positions on small grippers within the profile of the gripper

Other benefits include cleanroom fluoro-elastomer seals and lube options, manifold porting, multiple mounting locations, and PHD's superior delivery.

With automation technology moving at a fast pace these days, it's difficult to keep up with what's new. PHD has the answer for engineers and designers on the go with our newly updated Product Specifications Mobile App for your smart phone or tablet. 

 

The PHD Product Specs App is an educational resource that guides the user in discovering the advantages of product features, key specs on product technology, and product visualization through hi-res images all in an interactive application. 

 

Our latest update for iOS devices includes sizing capabilities, videos, and a feature where a user can markup media and then share.

 

And now you can also view 3D models when Cadenas eCat Mobile Viewer App is installed and an internet connection is present (PHD's PS App also links to this).
