Lance Gripper/Clamp for Manipulator Systems

Product Specifications

Technical details and manufacturing context for Lance Gripper / Clamp

Definition

The Lance Gripper/Clamp is a critical component of the Lance Manipulator system that provides secure mechanical gripping and precise positioning of the lance during industrial operations. It ensures stable attachment and controlled movement of the lance for accurate insertion, retraction, and manipulation in various manufacturing processes. The device is engineered for use in machinery and equipment manufacturing, where it serves as a part-level component. It operates through mechanical actuation, typically pneumatic, hydraulic, or electric, to apply controlled clamping force on the lance. The gripper features adjustable jaws or collets that conform to the lance diameter, with locking mechanisms that maintain a secure grip during operation while allowing for quick release when needed. The clamping range is 10–50 mm, and the operating pressure is 1.0–1.6 MPa. The clamping force ranges from 500 to 1500 N, and positioning accuracy is ±0.05 mm. The device operates in a non-condensing environment with a temperature range of -20 to 80 °C. It has an IP rating of IP54–IP65 (IEC 60529), indicating protection against dust and water jets. The body is made of aluminum alloy 6061-T6 (ASTM B221) with hardened steel jaws, and the weight varies from 2.5 to 4.0 kg depending on clamping range and options. The mounting interface is ISO 9409-1-50-4-M6 (ISO 9409-1), a standard robot flange interface. Air consumption at 0.6 MPa supply pressure is 0.5–1.2 L/min. Materials on file include high-strength alloy steel, hardened tool steel, and corrosion-resistant coatings. These specifications are reference ranges and must be confirmed for the actual model and application with the legal manufacturer or supplier.

Working Principle

The gripper/clamp operates through mechanical actuation (typically pneumatic, hydraulic, or electric) to apply controlled clamping force on the lance. It features adjustable jaws or collets that conform to the lance diameter, with locking mechanisms that maintain secure grip during operation while allowing for quick release when needed. The clamping force is generated by the actuation system and is adjustable within the specified range. The device ensures precise positioning by maintaining a repeatable grip, with a positioning accuracy of ±0.05 mm. The operating pressure range is 1.0–1.6 MPa. The device is designed for non-condensing environments and operates within -20 to 80 °C. The IP rating indicates protection against dust and water jets, making it suitable for industrial environments.
