Product Overview
The AGR Pneumatic Pick-Up Head has been designed to meet performance requirements of high-speed assembly machines and to mount on the tool holder of our UNIPLACE® Pick-and-Place Mechanism. It can also be used with other mechanisms. Compact configuration has been combined with lightweight alloys in the body to achieve low mass. Three sizes are available, Models DP-1, DP -2 and DP 3. Pick-up arms are drilled for mounting of pick-up fingers or other devices. Return springs can be installed on either side of the piston for either normally open or normally closed operation. For extremely high-speed operation we recommend double-action operation from a four-way valve. The AGR Pneumatic Pick-Up Head has the advantage of fast, positive and highly dependable operation, requiring little or no adjustment or maintenance.
With properly designed tooling, it will take care of the great majority of pick-up and placement requirements. It is also useful for light clamping applications and for carrying funnel jaws to facilitate assembly operations. The DP 1, 2 and 3 can be mounted on an A. G. Russell Breakaway Head. This mounting feature permits the Pick-Up Head to "break" from its mounting if a lateral impediment is met. The steel dove tail design provides accurate mounting and easy reassembly if disconnection occurs. The unit can be used in many other applications where compliance is necessary in tool mounting.
