Universal Sheet Metal Grippers

The 84N5 Series Sheet Metal Gripper expands Destaco's portfolio of 84N Series of grippers. The 84N5 Series grippers are part of Destaco's Accelerate Collection, which are designed to help users boost productivity in automotive manufacturing press shop stamping lines.

"Operating at actuations speeds of 78 milliseconds (ms), twice the speed of competing products, the 84N5 grippers maintain a firm grip force of 1,200N at 5 bar (72.5 PSI). The precision design produces low wear that increases operational life with minimal field maintenance needed, all while producing more stamped parts per hour," said a company spokesperson.

The 84N5 grippers are available in fixed, double-open and 90° jaw configurations. The jaws are interchangeable and can be quickly adjusted in the field in 10 minutes or less with a single Allen wrench. The jaws include a visual opening angle indicator and are adjustable at any point within a 15° to 75° opening angle. A series of color-coded tips lets the user visually know what sheet metal thickness can be gripped. The 84N5 jaws are universally designed to accept both single- and double-tip designs for increased application flexibility.

Sensing solutions include in-jaw sensing that validates a part is positioned between the jaws. The side-body sensing option includes two sensors that let the user self-determine whether single blank, double blank, full open or full close operation is necessary. Because of its compact size, the 84N5 gripper has the versatility to fit into any press shop tooling and mounting configuration. The 84N5 gripper includes a fail-safe locking mechanism, preventing part drop in the event the gripper loses air pressure. The parts remain securely gripped, which reduces scrap from an e-stop event.
