Radial grippers

The distinctive features of Camozzi Automation's radial grippers include robust and lightweight construction using high-quality materials that ensure wear resistance and durability over time. Thanks to their modular design, these grippers can be easily integrated into existing automation systems, providing greater flexibility and versatility in the production environment. Additionally, radial grippers are equipped with advanced control technologies, such as force and position sensors, which allow precise and reliable management of gripping and releasing operations. These devices ensure greater safety and precision during object handling operations, minimising the risk of damage. Through continuous innovation and technological development in this field, Camozzi Automation continues to offer cutting-edge solutions that help improve efficiency and productivity in automated industrial processes.

Radial Grippers: Radial grippers pick objects using fingers that open and close radially relative to the axis of the gripper itself. They are particularly useful in applications where it is necessary to manipulate objects in tight spaces or with critical positioning.

Parallel Grippers: Parallel grippers pick objects using fingers that open and close along the axis of the gripper itself. Parallel grippers are often preferred for applications where it is important to maintain a precise and self-centering grip on the object. They are ideal for picking objects with more regular geometry and for gripping and positioning operations that require greater precision.

In summary, the main difference between radial and parallel grippers lies in the direction in which the gripper fingers move to pick objects: radially relative to the gripper's axis for radial grippers and along the gripper's axis for parallel grippers. The choice between the two types depends on the specific application requirements and the characteristics of the objects to be manipulated. In the food and pharmaceutical industries, radial grippers are used to pick and place packaged products, containers, bottles, and other packaging materials. Their ability to handle objects carefully is essential for maintaining quality and safety standards during production and packaging processes.
