What is a material handling holder?
Introducing the features of material handling holders
Holder for material handling (grabbing and carrying) inside the machining center
Just attach to the machining center
Custom made design for any shape
Material handling holder applications
Workpiece transport, changeover of parts
Posture inversion Assembly of changeover parts
No major investment required for gantry loaders, robots, etc.
Good!
- Reduced equipment installation costs
No robot teaching required
(control by NC program)
Good!
- Reduced setup time
This is the point!
No special power required (3 drive sources to choose from)
Excellent!
Type CL
Claw opens and closes with coolant pressure
Type AR
Arm opens and closes with air pressure
Type ST
Claw opens and closes by rotating the main axis 90°
Recommended for
- Workpiece changeover is done manually
- Equipment operation stops every time a jig is changed
- Robot arm installation is being considered, but there are concerns about the cost
- Already has robot, but teaching takes time
- Need higher positioning accuracy than with a robot
- Aiming for unmanned automatic tool changeover
