CNC machine tending and part loading
Check part width variation, jaw access, machining-door clearance and the point where the gripper must enter the CNC envelope.

Engineering Overview
Start with the application, workpiece and machine context.
Parallel grippers are used when an automation system needs repeatable two-finger motion to hold, transfer or position a workpiece. Use this family to review machine tending, assembly automation, inspection loading and general pick-and-place projects before CAD or RFQ.
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.
Application Visuals

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.
Robot loading and unloading
Share robot reach, part orientation, cycle sequence and unloading position so engineering can review the handling concept.
Assembly station transfer
Clarify transfer distance, nesting condition and fixture handoff before CAD or quotation is requested.
Inspection and sorting fixtures
Use part presentation, inspection orientation and reject-bin handling to confirm whether parallel gripping is the right starting point.
Packaging and general pick-and-place
Provide part material, surface sensitivity and expected takt time so finger design and review priorities are clear.
Flexible manufacturing cells
Share product changeover range, fixture variation and recovery requirements when one cell handles multiple workpiece formats.
Key Advantages
Where engineers use this family first.
Straightforward two-finger gripping architecture
Keeps selection focused on the most common two-finger handling architecture without relying on unconfirmed model assumptions.
Useful starting point for many automation cells
Helps engineers connect workpiece geometry with finger concept, mounting direction and CAD requirements.
Prepared for custom fingers and mounting discussion
Helps clarify custom fingers, sensors and machine-access constraints before final selection.
CAD and datasheet support
Pairs CAD and datasheet requests with engineering review so requested files match the application.
Product Range Overview
Range structure prepared for engineering review.
Compact parallel gripper candidates
Compact candidates will be organized around small-part access, jaw travel and machine-space constraints as engineering data becomes available.
Heavy-duty parallel gripper candidates
Higher-load candidates will be added as force, stroke, mounting and documentation details become available.
Long-stroke handling candidates
Longer opening ranges will be added when verified model data supports wide-part or variable-part handling tasks.
Sensor-ready gripping candidates
Sensor and finger-ready options will be tied to available accessory and interface information.
