GR04.106 Fipa's newest addition to its 100 series of sprue grippers features an anodized, high-strength aluminum alloy housing and coated jaws with a 10mm clamping diameter. The grippers' soft elastomer pads are clip-mounted and easy to replace.

What's new? The new single-acting, non-sensing sprue grippers.

Benefits Gentle gripping of delicate parts. The grippers' wear- and temperature-resistant pads are designed so that they do not cause scratches or problems with paint adhesion. Also, the replaceability of the pads means the grippers themselves will last longer, reducing potential downtime and providing a cost benefit to users.
