Grippex

Product catalog summary
Overview: The Grippex is a powerful coolant-driven bar puller and pick-up unit designed to enhance the efficiency of CNC lathes. It offers instant setup with secure gripping across its range without adjustments, and its compact design allows for adjacent turret tool positions to remain occupied.
Key Features:
  • Pressure Handling: Operates effectively from 0.5 bar and withstands up to 20 bar.
  • Clamping: Clamps close to the chuck for minimal bar overhang and can handle hexagon bars without spindle orientation.
  • Versatility: Functions as a pick-up unit with robot jaws.
Specifications:
  • Grippex Large: Gripping range of 2-60 mm, 3-80 mm, and 7-105 mm.
  • Grippex Small: Gripping range of 2-52 mm.
  • Grippex Mini: Gripping range of 0-38 mm with options for robot fingers.
Shanks and Inserts:
  • Grippex Large: Straight shanks ø25, ø32, ø40 mm; VDI 30, VDI 40.
  • Grippex Small: Straight shanks ø20, ø25, ø32 mm; VDI 20, VDI 30.
  • Grippex Mini: Straight shanks ø16, ø20, ø25 mm; VDI 16, VDI 20.
Performance: The graph indicates the maximum allowable weight of a mild steel bar that can be pulled, with Grippex Large handling up to 20 bar, Grippex Small up to 15 bar, and Grippex Mini up to 7 bar.
Applications: Ideal for small-batch production where CNC lathes are not equipped with magazine-type bar feeders, providing a simple and efficient bar feeding solution.

Grippex-1

Powerful coolant driven bar puller and pick-up unit ▪ Instant setup - gripping is secured without any adjustment within the whole gripping range ▪ Compact and light - Adjacent turret tool positions need not be empty ▪ Powerful - stands high pressure up to 20 bar ▪ Grippex doesn’t need high pressure for pulling properly. It can work from 0,5 bar onward ▪ Clamps very close to the chuck, allowing short overhang of the bar ▪ Clamps hexagon bars without need for spindle orientation ▪ Can also be used as a pick-up unit with robot jaws For various reasons, such a high costs or limited floor space in work shops, a small percentage of the CNC lathes are equipped with some kind of magazine-type bar feeder. In small-batch production, however, the machine spindle itself, in addition to its inserted guiding tube and Grippex, provides you with a simple and highly efficient bar feeder. Grippex is the bar puller that makes your CNC lathe more effective right away!
