The MultiGrip Gripper is a pneumatic, long-travel robotic gripper designed around the MultiGrip Jaw interface. When used with the MultiGrip Vise and MultiGrip Jaws, it provides a powerful, flexible solution for CNC milling automation—especially in high-mix environments.
Unlike traditional robotic grippers that pick parts directly, the MultiGrip Gripper automates the loading and unloading of MultiGrip Jaws from the MultiGrip Vise. The jaws themselves are then used to grip and transfer the part. This approach—using workholding as the part gripper—unlocks true flexibility for automating a wide range of part types, without the need to reprogram for each new part.
Key benefits of using the MultiGrip Gripper for CNC automation:
-
No duplicate workholding needed – the same jaws are used in both the robot and the CNC.
-
Machinist-friendly – easily create optimal part-holding solutions right in the CNC vise.
-
Handles complex geometries – supports more part shapes than traditional grippers.
-
Universal Op-to-Op transfers – simplifies multi-operation part handling.
-
Lowest cost for new part automation – no custom gripper or programming required.
-
Fast part changeovers – adapt to new jobs quickly.
-
Improved automation reliability – proven, repeatable jaw-based transfers.
The MultiGrip Gripper is at the heart of VersaBuilt’s automation-ready ecosystem—making flexible, cost-effective automation a reality for today’s job shops.
