Gripping

Parallel gripper selection

Review workpiece geometry, material, grip surface, stroke clearance, jaw concept, sensor needs and robot or machine interface before selecting a gripper body.

  • Workpiece mass and orientation
  • Jaw contact and clearance
  • Environment and duty cycle
Automation

Tool changer selection

Review robot-side interface, tool-side count, payload stack-up, utility pass-throughs, locking confirmation and tool storage concept.

  • Robot and tool stack
  • Utilities and signals
  • Change station layout
Workholding

Zero point system review

Review fixture size, machine table, stack height, actuation method, contamination exposure and repeatability expectation before choosing a system direction.

  • Machine and fixture data
  • Changeover workflow
  • Cleaning and access

Quote Preparation

What to prepare before asking for model direction.

01

Application

Describe the operation, machine, workpiece flow and what the product must do.

02

Interface

Share robot flange, mounting pattern, machine table, fixture interface or available envelope.

03

Constraints

Note material sensitivity, coolant, chips, clean area, cycle expectation and clearance limitations.

04

Quantity and timing

Include quantity, timeline, country, required files and whether a quote request or engineering review is needed first.
