Greetings!
This month, we are highlighting our new BST2 Transfer Arm for Blow Molding applications. This arm provides a significant improvement over the OEM product in terms of life and accuracy.
Also for June we are spotlighting a video product review for the PHD Series GRV Angular Pneumatic Gripper. If you are looking for a small gripper that can support large moment capacities and long tooling lengths, then this gripper is for you!
Lastly, we take a look at our PHD Plus™ line of automation devices. PHD's electrically driven cylinders, slides, and grippers along with Your Motor, Your Way, could be just the right alternative to traditional pneumatically powered automation.
To your continued automation success,
The PHD Team

GRV Gripper Product Review by Design World
| | |
PHD's new angular pneumatic grippers received a product review from Design World Magazine Editorial Director Paul Heney.
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.
