Finger gripper blanks single Aluminium Schunk Series KGG

What are Blank Finger Grippers?

Blank Finger Grippers are pre-machined, modular components used to create custom end-effectors for robotic grippers. They are designed to be easily customised to fit specific workpiece shapes and application requirements, saving significant machining and design time compared to fabricating finger grippers from scratch.

Material and Finish:

Available in both Aluminium and Steel, allowing users to select the appropriate material based on strength, weight, and application needs. Aluminium fingers are lighter and easier to machine, while steel fingers offer higher strength and durability.

Key Features:

These blanks come with critical mounting and interface geometry already machined, so users only need to machine the gripping surface to match their workpiece. This approach streamlines the process of creating custom gripper fingers. Blanks are offered for a variety of popular gripper modules from manufacturers such as Schunk, SMC, Gimatic, Robotiq, and Destaco, ensuring broad compatibility with standard industrial and collaborative robot grippers. These are also typically supplied with the necessary hardware for quick attachment to the gripper module, further simplifying installation and available as single fingers or double un-cut pairs, accommodating different gripper designs and requirements.

Applications and Industries

They are ideal for machine tending, pick-and-place, assembly, and other automation tasks where custom gripping surfaces are needed. It is beneficial for companies with limited in-house design or machining capabilities, as they reduce the complexity and lead time associated with custom gripper fabrication.
