Magnetic gripper for uneven workpieces
SMC has added to its gripper range with the launch of the MHM-X6400, which uses a magnet to handle workpieces. Ideal for workpieces with uneven surfaces or featuring holes, the MHM-X6400 provides machine operators with reliable and safe handling and reduced cycle times that increase productivity.
With a holding force of up to 120N, the MHM-X6400 keeps hold of the workpieces even when the air is shut off, giving peace of mind when it comes to reliable and safe movement of workpieces. Furthermore, with a residual force of 0.3N or less, cycle times are reduced and productivity output is improved. Suitable for a range of transfer applications, the holding force of the MHM-X6400 can be adjusted by changing the type of bumper being used.
