FPE Automation Wins an Unprecedented Four Mac Distributor of the Month Awards in June 2017

We're celebrating a real milestone here at FPE Automation today! 

Every time FPE Automation wins even one MAC DOM award, it means we architected a game-changing solution for one of our valued clients that was significantly more efficient, more cost-effective, and often both! 

Four awards and a sweep for the month: two singular, never-before-in-history achievements. 

We would like to thank our team for their efforts (names included in the video), and of course  MAC Valves, whose superior products allow us to approach our clients with a concept that really does make a difference.

We're exceptionally proud. We put together this playful mini movie to explain it in a little more detail!

PHD Series EGRR Electric High Capacity Parallel Gripper

PHD is pleased to announce the release of the new Series EGRR high capacity ELECTRIC gripper. 

Built on the field-proven Series GRR chassis, the electric version offers many of the same benefits as the pneumatic. Plus, you receive the design flexibility of Your Motor, Your Way features. The EGRR provides high grip force, long jaw travels, and high jaw loads. This heavy duty end effector’s rugged design and jaw construction can withstand high impact and shock loads. Series EGRR Grippers are designed for gripping large objects in demanding industrial applications.

Major benefits.

• Servomotor provides acceleration, velocity, and position control and feedback. 
• Compact design provides high grip force, large moment capacities, long jaw travel, and low overall weight for applications with limited space. 
• Rugged construction withstands high impact and shock loads in demanding industrial environments.
• Three large diameter jaw guides spanning the length of the gripper provide stable jaw travel, long allowable tooling length, and high moment capacities. 
• Robust rack and pinion jaw drive provides repeatable jaw positioning. 
• Your Motor, Your Way allows motor and controls flexibility at no additional cost. 
• Optional PHD-supplied Kollmorgen® motor matches performance of popular pneumatic Series GRR Guardian® Gripper.
