www.grippers.comThe company Zaytran produces a variety of gripper products including:

The Magnum Range and XRAY End Effectors. The Magnum Range is a series of Parallel Grippers which are suitable for many uses from Welding Environments to Class One Clean Room.

Examples of the range of parallel gripper environments include welding, grinding, machining, clean room, epitaxial wafer fabrication, hard disk fabrication, D.I. water and food processing.

MAGNUM-AL are designed for “Normal” to Harsh Environments. When the MAGNUM-AL is used in extreme environments, like carbide dust or weld spatter, the purge system can be used to prevent any contamination from entering the gripper. The purge port is simple plumbed to a constant, low pressure pneumatic line.

MAGNUM-PET grippers are designed for Clean Room, Food, and De-Ionized Water Environments.

XRAY end effectors. The XRAY end effector concept was developed for applications that impart high acceleration to heavy objects or require extremely long, precisely positioned jaws. XRAY end effectors take advantage of dynamic developments in both material science and automation technology to offer new horizons of toughness and cost efficiency.

The XRAY-S, handles big jobs with tremendous torque and force capability, long jaws are no problem with the incorporated linear bearing rail, sealed for years of trouble-free use in tough environments and the patented double helix provides ultimate precision over the life of the gripper.
