PRODUCT INFORMATION
SERIES MHS3 TYPICAL
APPLICATIONS
These grippers utilise a wedge cam design to minimise
their size yet retain a high holding force. The small size
of the units make them well suited for end of arm or
space constrained pick and place applications. The two
finger MHS2 is good for general purpose gripping. The
three finger MHS3 makes it ideal for gripping round
objects and loading or unloading items from the chuck of
a machine tool. Round or square objects work well with
the four finger MHS4.
