GripFlipGrip™ Workflow

1

Load Stock into Part Loading Tray

Remove the finished, fully machined parts from the last run, and drop in your raw stock. Since there's no clamping and all the pins instantly align your stock, this step usually takes less than 5 seconds per part.

2

Gripper Loads the Part and AutoVise™ Clamps It

Fully automatically using our automated program templates, the gripper grabs the component from the stock tray and loads it into the Op1 AutoVise™ where it's clamped and machined.

3

Gripper Grabs, QuickFlip™ Flips, and Gripper Regrabs

The integrated QuickFlip180 leverages that remaining top hat on the stock. Automatically flips it over and then regrabs the component, getting it ready for automated Op2 machining.

4

Flipped Part Loaded for Op2 and Machined

After the part is flipped, the flipped component is automatically loaded into the OP2 vise soft jaw and then automatically machined, leaving a 100% complete, ready-to-use part.

5

Automated Repeating Part Production

This process automatically completes until you have an entire tray or magazine full of finished, ready-to-use components.
