The HFCQ16 features a patented hollow channel design enabling internal routing of cables/sensors through the gripper body, ideal for collaborative robots and automated systems requiring clean cable management. Its dual-piston parallel movement mechanism ensures symmetrical gripping force distribution, while the hardened guide rods prevent lateral deflection during high-speed operations. The gripper achieves ISO 9400-1 compliance for mounting interfaces.
- PCB handling in electronics assembly lines (through-hole component insertion)
- Medical device manipulation with integrated vacuum suction lines
- Automated optical inspection (AOI) systems requiring internal sensor wiring
- Food packaging with integrated product detection sensors
- Collaborative robot end-effectors for mixed payload handling
Installation notes:
Use C-shaped mounting brackets (ISO standard) for secure attachment.
Maintain 0.5-1mm clearance around hollow channel for cable movement.
For vertical installations, install exhaust filters to prevent debris entry.
Maximum side load capacity: 15N (perpendicular to jaw motion axis).
