NPGT_S series

2-jaw parallel gripper with measuring function NPGT_S series

Check dimensions while transporting
Possible to measure the dimension of where the gripper grips by the built-in measurement scale.
It realizes the competitive production line through automation, labor saving and productivity improvement.

Measures the workpiece dimension of where it grasps.

By incorporating a measurement scale, it measures the width or length of the workpiece at the same time it grips.

Providing added values more than only transportation.

In addition to simple transportation, length measurement is combined to perform various complex tasks.

Case 1) Sorting workpieces is automated.

Sorting by the diameter for the next process while transporting.
It eliminates the sorting work by an operator and contributes to a reduction of labor costs and elimination of labor shortages.

Case 2) Automate in-process inspection

Eliminates the inspection equipment and inspection spaces, and contributes to space- saving.

Recording and utilization of measurement data

The recorded measurement results can also be used for work data management,
traceability management, and process capability calculation.
In addition, by analyzing the dimensional tendency of the workpiece,
it can be reflected in the machining program or can be used for preventive maintenance
by predicting the tool replacement time.
