New sommer GS65 pneumatic / 6 finger o-ring gripper
Techno-Sommer s GS65 six-finger gripper is a truly unique product with such a clever design that it just demands attention. The 6-finger gripper has two pistons, each driven independently by a 3-2 way valve. When compressed air is applied, to port A, the first piston moves the six pins to pick up and expand the O- ring. The stroke of the T-slotted pins can be precisely adjusted from 3 to 6 mm per jaw with the external adjusting ring. Once the O-ring is expanded, compressed air is applied to another port, activating the second piston. This second piston forces the ejector jaws to push the O-ring forward, off the pick-up pins, and onto the part. Presto, no hassle O-ring placement!
In the O-Ring Game, 6-Fingers Beats 3-Jaws
In the past, companies had to resort to using a modified three- jaw gripper to place O-rings. But since Techno-Sommer raised the ante, with the six-finger O-ring gripper, there is only one
obvious choice. The GS65 unit s design ensures that the O-ring is stretched evenly and to a minimum during installation. The hexagonal shape allows the O-ring to be picked up and
expanded with considerably less stress on the O-ring than using a three-jaw model (especially using the stroke adjustment ring). The standard pick-up jaws can handle O-rings in a diameter range from 4 through 20 mm and optional sensing is available by adding two inductive proximity switches to the sides of the unit. Six-fingers over optional sensing, that is one full hand!
O-rings are everywhere. From products like kitchen faucets to just about every linear cylinder, O-rings are a manufacturing necessity. And it makes good business sense to go where there s a steady need especially with a product like the O-ring gripper. This unit is so compact and lightweight, you get an awful lot of gripper for the size. So, the maxim build it and they will come doesn t really apply as much as to score, you ve got to get into the game. Let Techno-Sommer put you in the O-ring game with our unique O-ring gripper.
