Product Selection Differences for Parallel to Angular Combination Grippers

When selecting Parallel and Angular Combination Grippers, there are several key differences to consider:

  1. Gripping Mechanism:

    • Parallel Grippers: These have jaws that move in parallel to each other, providing a strong and symmetrical grip on objects.
    • Angular Grippers: These have jaws that move at an angle to each other, allowing for better positioning and handling of non-symmetrical objects.

  2. Versatility:

    • Parallel Grippers: Better suited for handling symmetrical objects and providing a firm grip.
    • Angular Grippers: More versatile for handling objects of various shapes and sizes due to their ability to adjust the angle of the jaws.

  3. Precision and Accuracy:

    • Parallel Grippers: Offer better precision and control when gripping objects that require consistent handling.
    • Angular Grippers: Provide flexibility in gripping objects at different angles, enhancing accuracy in positioning.

  4. Applications:

    • Parallel Grippers: Commonly used in applications where a strong, consistent grip is required, such as pick-and-place operations.
    • Angular Grippers: Ideal for applications where objects need to be gripped at different angles or positions, such as assembly or sorting tasks.

  5. Space and Design Constraints:

    • Parallel Grippers: Typically require more space for operation due to their design.
    • Angular Grippers: Can be more compact and adaptable to tight spaces due to their ability to adjust the gripping angle.

  6. Cost and Maintenance:

    • Parallel Grippers: Generally simpler in design, they may be more cost-effective and easier to maintain.
    • Angular Grippers: More complex in design with additional moving parts, which can lead to higher initial costs and potentially increased maintenance requirements.

  7. Compatibility:

    • Consider the compatibility of the gripper with your existing robotic system or automation setup, ensuring a seamless integration for efficient operation.

By considering these factors, you can determine which type of gripper – Parallel or Angular – would best suit your specific application requirements and operational needs.
