Destaco RP-18-V Pneumatic Parallel Gripper Double Wedge

Destaco Robohand RP-18-V Pneumatic Parallel Gripper Double Wedge is a pneumatically actuated parallel-jaw gripper from Destaco's Robohand line, built around a double wedge design. The RP-18-V uses compressed air to open and close its jaws in parallel, enabling parts to be grasped with consistent alignment during automated handling tasks. This configuration emphasizes a compact mechanism suitable for integration into end-of-arm tooling on robotic systems and pick-and-place cells. By delivering air-driven jaw motion, it supports gripping in environments where electrical actuation is discouraged or where maintenance is preferred. The double wedge geometry helps guide the jaws for parallel engagement, reducing misalignment and part damage during grasping. For automation teams evaluating end effectors, the RP-18-V represents a Destaco option within the Robohand family for applications requiring a parallel-grip solution with a double wedge design. Operating with compressed air, it requires a suitable air supply and mounting method consistent with industrial automation practices.
