STAND i082 Palletising gripper The TecnAir Palletising Gripper is designed to replace older design robot palletising grippers and provides over 30% savings in compressed air usage. Designed in-house using the latest in Piab COAX vacuum cartridges, the gripper is suitable for users with multiple SKUs and multiple stacking patterns. The dust-tolerant vacuum cartridges alleviate problems with cardboard dust build-up and all component parts are easy to access for maintenance. The gripper can be supplied as an upgrade to an existing unit or complete with a new frame, pallet arms, etc. Once the communication module has its address programmed, the gripper will work with existing software, no reprogramming needed. If this design doesn’t suit a user’s application, TecnAir can design a bespoke gripper using the same technology as used in the Palletising Gripper. TecnAir www.tecnair.com.au
