Engineering Overview
Start with the application, workpiece and machine context.
Centric and 3-jaw grippers help center a workpiece during gripping, which can be useful for round parts, machining interfaces, inspection loading and assembly handling. GRANITY provides model-level recommendations after the required application and product data are confirmed.
For model-level selection, share the application context, target model or drawing. GRANITY can then confirm the supported CAD, datasheet or quotation path for the project.

Use these scenes to compare the production task, workpiece access and information needed before CAD, engineering support or quotation.
Typical Applications
Typical manufacturing situations for this family.
Cylindrical component transfer
Share cylindrical part drawings, robot approach and unload orientation to review centric handling risk.
Inspection loading and orientation
Clarify inspection datum, part seating and orientation requirements before CAD or RFQ.
Assembly positioning for centered parts
Use round-part geometry to decide whether a 3-jaw centering approach is more suitable than two-finger gripping.
Handling before or after machining
Provide machining stage, burr condition and surface sensitivity so the review can focus on stable contact.
Key Advantages
Where engineers use this family first.
Centered gripping concept for round or symmetric parts
Focuses selection around centered pickup and round-part handling rather than generic gripping language.
Useful for repeatable orientation workflows
Helps engineering evaluate contact points, orientation control and fixture handoff before CAD or drawing review.
Prepared for jaw/finger customization discussion
Supports applications where concentric positioning is part of the handling decision.
Connects gripping selection to inspection and machining context
Connects CAD and datasheet requests with product-family review so the CAD or datasheet response supports the actual round-part task.
Product Range Overview
Range structure prepared for engineering review.
Compact centric gripper candidates
Compact centering candidates will be organized around round-part access and centerline handling needs as engineering data becomes available.
3-jaw pneumatic gripper candidates
3-jaw candidates will be added only when drive, mounting and file details are available for engineering review.
Round-part handling candidates
Round-part candidates will connect to diameter range, contact approach and orientation context as engineering data becomes available.
Inspection-loading gripper candidates
Inspection-loading candidates will be tied to datum handling and orientation requirements before final selection.

Selection Guide
Prepare the details engineers need to check.
Use centric grippers when round or symmetrical workpieces need centered handling, positioning or inspection support.
Diameter and symmetry
Share the part diameter range, roundness condition and the surfaces available for contact.
Centering reference
Confirm the datum, acceptable offset and whether the gripper must help orient the part.
Surface protection
Include material, finish sensitivity and any soft-contact or custom-jaw need.

FAQ
Centric / 3-Jaw Grippers questions.
Can GRANITY help select the right product family?
Yes. Send workpiece, machine, robot, fixture or target model information and GRANITY will connect you with engineering support.
Are model-level specifications available?
For model-level selection, share the application context, target model or drawing. GRANITY can then confirm the supported CAD, datasheet or quotation path for the project.
Can I request CAD or a datasheet before selecting an exact model?
Yes. CAD and datasheet requests are supported through engineering review. File availability depends on current product documentation status.
Can I submit an RFQ without final model data?
Yes. Submit application, quantity, country and timeline through the RFQ form so GRANITY can review the quotation request and required technical data.
