Grip It. (Produce).
Looking to automate a small-parts picking and insertion
application? A new modular system that is pneumatically actuated may be
what you need. The KONEX system from Schunk Precisian Workholding
Systems (Morrisville, NC) features a two-finger parallel gripper than
can handle ID's and OD's. Supporting the gripper are a swivel
unit, a linear unit, and a snap-connector adapter. This is a modular
system that can be quickly configured as required. The components are
constructed with Poly-A resin, which means they're light for quick
action during operation.
