Product catalog summary
Overview: The GRIPPEX® II is an advanced automatic bar puller designed for CNC lathes, offering a cost-effective and space-saving alternative to traditional bar feeders. It is stationed at the turret, driven by coolant, and controlled by the NC-programme, making it suitable for small-batch production.
Key Features:
  • Instant setup with secure gripping across the entire range without adjustments.
  • Compact and lightweight design, allowing adjacent turret tool positions to remain occupied.
  • Operates effectively under high pressure (up to 20 bar) without needing a pressure reduction valve.
  • Capable of clamping hexagon bars without spindle orientation and can function as a pick-up unit with robot jaws.
Operation:
  • The GRIPPEX® II automates the process of machining multiple workpieces from a single bar, significantly reducing manual intervention and increasing efficiency.
  • Programming involves positioning the GRIPPEX in X- and Z-axes, controlling the coolant for clamping, and managing the chuck operations for bar pulling and positioning.
Design and Handling:
  • Features easy exchange of hardened inserts (HRC57) for durability and long life.
  • Includes an adjustable valve for machines with a check valve to prevent coolant backflow.
Specifications:
  • Available in various gripping ranges and shank sizes, with options for different bar diameters.
  • Includes a power diagram indicating the pulling force relative to coolant pressure.
Advantages:
  • Reduces the need for frequent operator intervention, allowing for quality checks and preparation for subsequent batches.
  • Provides a more efficient workflow by minimizing the need to open and close the operator door frequently.
