Grippex Mini

Product catalog summary
Overview: The Grippex Mini is a versatile tool designed for use in small-size lathes and machining centers. It functions as both a bar puller and a pick-up unit, capable of loading and unloading workpieces into and out of M-code-controlled vices, chucks, and rotary tables. The device can be stored in the tool magazine without requiring adjacent tool positions to be vacated.
Specifications: The Grippex Mini is driven by coolant and controlled by the NC-programme. It is stationed at the turret or tool magazine and is self-adjustable within its entire gripping range, allowing it to grip materials of different diameters close to the chuck. The tool is equipped with robot fingers and jaws for safe unloading of finished parts from the sub-spindle.
Performance and Operation: The Grippex Mini demonstrates outstanding performance by approaching the bar, clamping with coolant on, pulling out the bar with the chuck unclamped, and then releasing the bar with coolant off. The programming for bar-pulling on lathes is straightforward, involving simple coolant on/off commands for clamping and unclamping.
Advantages: The tool offers instant setup with secure gripping without adjustments across its range. The fingers and jaws are easily exchangeable, and the 2-finger type is particularly useful for gripping square, rectangular, and irregular profiles.
Technical Specifications: The Grippex Mini can handle a maximum pressure of 7 bar and is available with various shank sizes, including VDI16, VDI20, and straight shanks of different diameters. The gripping range is 0-38 mm, and the tool is compatible with adapters for lathes without internal coolant supply.
Ordering Information: The document provides detailed order codes for different configurations of the Grippex Mini, including various shank sizes and gripping fingers. Accessories such as adapters and robot jaws are also available.
