Today, we're looking at PHD Inc.'s new Series GRV Compact Precision Angular Pneumatic Gripper. If it looks somewhat familiar to you, that's because this product is modeled after the company's existing Series GRA Parallel Grippers. This gripper is, as the name implies, compact in size and precise, but it's also rugged. The GRV is offered in 4 different sizes, and it can support large moment capacities and long tooling lengths.

The GRV can be used in a wide variety of automation applications. And the slim design allows plenty space if you want to stack several grippers in a confined area.

This gripper's robust construction means you can expect a long operating life. You can see there are precision dowel pin holes here, that helps in accurate alignment of tooling and gripper mounting.

Internal flow control is standard, which means that no external flow control is required. The units are supplied "switch-ready," for easy integration of optional magnetic position sensing switches. A teachable two-position switch allows multiple positions on small grippers within the profile of the gripper.

There are cleanroom fluoro-elastomer seals and lube options, as well as manifold porting and multiple mounting locations.
