Flexion Gripper
Inspired by the Human Hand
PHD Flexion is an innovative gripper that replicates the act of bending a finger – giving the gripper a vast range of adaptability for soft and sensitive product handling.
Parallel Grippers
High Rigidity and Precision Gripping
Ranging from high precision miniature sizes to heavy duty, high capacity models, PHD parallel grippers open directly apart to handle workpieces of all sizes and weights.
Angular Grippers
Angular Gripping for Unique Objects
PHD angular grippers open at an angle to hold a different variety of workpieces than parallel grippers, including large or oddly shaped objects and pick in tight spaces.
Clamps
Unsurpassed Ruggedness
PHD offers many different options for clamps including 2-jaw, toggle, swing, pin clamps, and die lifters for automated sheet metal stamping in transfer presses, welding, and more.
Inspired by the Motion of a Human Finger
PHD Flexion Gripper – finger modules flex multiple joints to conform and adapt to various workpieces. Modules can be assembled in radial or parallel hub arrays with one to five fingers in each position. Suitable for both industrial and collaborative robots.
