December 2014 

    


To close out 2014, we turn the spotlight on PHD's Series GRR Gripper. With its high moment capacity and long tooling length capability, this is one tough gripper for picking up and moving large parts. 

This month, we hope you'll check out the Industries section of phdinc.com where you can browse for products that are used in specific industries. Look below to see the featured industries!


Lastly,
we are proud to announce that we were voted as the Motion Control Leader in Engineering by Design World Readers!

 

All of us at PHD wish you Happy Holidays!
  

To your continued automation success,

December Product Spotlight


Automotive wheels and rims, small engine blocks and manifolds, crated product or material - what heavy items do you want to move with a gripper? PHD has just the answer with our Series GRR. Available in four standard jaw travels, (150, 200, 250 and 300 mm), these robust actuators, ideal as robot end effectors, perform with precision in the most demanding applications.

 

Trademarked the Guardian®, the Series GRR High Capacity Pneumatic Parallel Gripper features the ability to operate jaws in synchronized, non-synchronized, and independently powered modes. Its three large diameter jaw guides provide extremely stable jaw travel and high moment capacities. Yet the GRR's compact design yields the lightest overall weight of all its nearest competitors.

 

Additional options include PHD's Rodlok system which holds the jaws in a stationary position in the event of air pressure loss. An analog output sensor option continuously monitors jaw position. Proximity switches are also available for discreet position sensing.

 

Check out some of these application animations for the Series GRR. And be sure to take a look at PHD's gripper product page to learn more about the GRR and other quality grippers from PHD.
