SMC MHM-X6400 gripper

SMC has added to its gripper range with the MHM-X6400, which uses a magnet for the handling of steel plate without the need for vacuum. Suitable for workpieces with uneven or irregular surfaces or featuring holes, this magnetic gripper provides reliable and safe handling at reduced cycle times for improved productivity. It’s also suitable for many varied sheet metal handling applications including robotic systems.

With a holding force of up to 120 N, the gripper continues to hold a workpiece even when air supply is lost completely or pressure drops are experienced, offering peace of mind when it comes to reliable and safe movement of workpieces. Furthermore, with a residual holding force of only 0.3 N or less, cycle times are reduced and productivity output is improved.

Suitable for a range of transfer applications, the holding force of the product can be adjusted by simply changing the height of the bumper being used.

Made from Fluororubber, the bumper also prevents the workpiece from slipping and damaging during operations, improving safety.

Featuring three mountable surfaces and the option to mount auto switches, the gripper offers flexibility and greater process control.
