Two-component grippers

With the freeformer, ARBURG manufactures an application-specific two-component gripper with which the robotic system gently removes injection-moulded grip plates.

Customised

In the ARBURG Plastic Freeforming (APF) process, operating equipment such as robotic grippers can be produced economically and quickly using standard plastics.

Hard/soft

Hard/soft combination: The freeformer additively manufactures a gripper from an inherently stable housing and a soft TPU nozzle closure.

Elastic

In order to remove grip plates from the injection mould with a positive fit, the gripper's TPU nozzle closure is expanded using compressed air.

Whatever the requirement.
We'll find the solution.
