GRIPPEX – POWERFUL COOLANT DRIVEN BAR PULLER AND PICK-UP UNIT
Grippex is the bar puller that makes a CNC lathe more effective right away
For various reasons, such a high costs or limited floor space in workshops, 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.
Highlights include instant setup and gripping secured without any adjustment within the whole gripping range. The pick-up unit is compact and light and adjacent turret tool positions need not be empty. While powerful and standing high pressure up to 20 bar, Grippex doesn’t need high pressure for pulling properly. It can work from 0,5 bar onward.
Grippex clamps very close to the chuck, allowing short overhang of the bar, while clamping hexagon bars without need for spindle orientation. It can also be used as a pick-up unit with robot jaws.
