Zimmer Group SCH20-B 6mm Stroke Pneumatic Needle Gripper Assembly

Description:

The Zimmer Group SCH20-B pneumatic needle gripper is used in industrial automation systems to grip soft or porous materials by penetrating the surface with fine needles. It provides reliable handling for materials that cannot be effectively gripped using vacuum or standard jaw grippers. Commonly installed in automated handling systems, this unit is used for pick-and-place, transfer, and positioning applications involving flexible or layered materials. Maintenance teams and system integrators use this gripper for system upgrades, replacements, and improving handling efficiency in automated processes.

Applications:

The Zimmer Group SCH20-B pneumatic needle gripper is used in textile handling, foam processing, packaging machinery, composite material handling, and automated assembly systems. It is ideal for robotic pick-and-place systems and conveyor-based operations where soft, porous, or irregular materials require secure and repeatable gripping.
