Description
Gripper Chain for Precision Handling of Thin-Walled Materials
Gripper chains with wear-resistant, corrosion-proof clamping elements are specially designed for gripping, pulling, and transporting thin-walled materials with large surface areas. They are widely used in applications where stable conveying and precise positioning are critical.Sensitive materials such as plastic film packaging, thin sheet metal, plastics, and other rigid sheet materials require careful handling to prevent surface damage or deformation during transport. Gripper chains provide reliable and controlled material movement throughout processes such as feeding, pulling in or out, positioning, stamping, welding, filling, laminating, cutting, stretching, forming, and sealing.
Precise and Secure Material Handling
Gripper chains with integrated clamping elements ensure optimal material feed and synchronized motion. The specially designed pivoting gripper mechanism enables secure clamping and high-precision handling, maintaining accurate positioning of the conveyed material even at high operating speeds.Variable spring forces allow gentle yet reliable clamping, making the chain suitable for a wide range of material thicknesses and surface characteristics. This flexibility helps reduce material damage while maintaining consistent process control.
Durable and Industry-Ready Design
Both the chain and clamping elements are corrosion-protected and wear-resistant, ensuring long service life in demanding industrial environments. As standard, all components are treated with a food-grade initial lubricant, making the gripper chain suitable for packaging and food-related applications where cleanliness and compliance are required.Typical Applications
- Packaging and film processing lines
- Printing and converting machinery
- Sheet metal and plastic handling systems
- Automated feeding and positioning equipment
- Forming, sealing, and laminating processes
