PRECISION HANDLING & HOLDING

Technical Center / Selection Guides

Select product families with application details.

These guides help engineers prepare the information needed before choosing a gripper, tool changer, zero point system, compensation unit or workholding solution. Final model selection depends on approved GRANITY engineering data.

Family Direction

Use the manufacturing task to narrow the product family.

Selection becomes faster when the application is separated into handling, tool interface, position compensation or fixture repeatability. Each task points to a different product family and information set.

Robot loading application for gripping module selection

Gripping Modules

Use when the task is part handling, loading, unloading, assembly transfer or pick-and-place.

  • Workpiece geometry and contact surface
  • Stroke, jaw direction and cycle rate
  • Material sensitivity and environment

Flexible production cell for automation module selection

Automation Modules

Use when the task involves robot interface, tool change, compensation, rotation or end-of-arm flexibility.

  • Robot flange or machine interface
  • Tooling weight and utility matching
  • Change frequency and station layout

Machining fixture application for workholding module selection

Workholding Modules

Use when the task is clamping, locating, fixture changeover or repeatable CNC setup.

  • Fixture datum and repeatability need
  • Machining load and access area
  • Setup change frequency and workpiece family

Selection Factors

Capture the factors that change engineering recommendations.

Include these factors when requesting CAD, engineering support or a quote. They help GRANITY understand the working condition before suggesting product family review, CAD support or a practical next step.

WorkpieceGeometry and material

Shape, contact surface, material, size range, fragility and contamination risk.

MachineInstallation environment

CNC, robot, assembly cell, fixture station, available space and mounting direction.

MotionCycle and handling behavior

Approach direction, cycle rate, transfer distance, orientation change and repeatability need.

ProjectStage and quantity

Prototype, production, replacement, distributor review, expected volume and timeline.

Choose Support

Choose the support option that matches available information.

Use the guide to decide whether CAD support, engineering review or quote details fits the information already available.

If the family is unclear

Send workpiece, machine and process context for engineering support before requesting CAD files or a quote.

Contact Engineering

If CAD or datasheet is needed

Request the file with product family, target model if known, file type and application reason.

Request CAD or Datasheet

If quote details are ready

Submit product family, quantity, destination, timeline and application details for quotation review.
