New grippers from Norgren
A new range of grippers with a guaranteed life expectancy, and with the option of field repair, has been launched by pneumatics expert Norgren.
This combination comes as a strategic and vital step in Norgren's key sector strategy focused on the in-plant automotive industry.
Syron is the North American market leader in integrated tooling solutions for transfer press automation, combining sophisticated design and engineering services with a comprehensive line of proprietary transfer automation tooling solutions.
From its two sites in Saline, Michigan and Troy, Michigan (home of its design and automation divisions, Erie Engineering and Erie Automation), Syron has earned an outstanding reputation for technological innovation with 25 current patents in tooling technology and an unsurpassed expertise in the local die design community.
Norgren leads the North American market in body assembly tooling and offers complementary tooling solutions for tandem presses, with end-of-arm solutions, grippers, clamps and pneumatic equipment.
In addition to its Mt Clemens, Michigan and Wiesbaden, Germany sites, the company has extensive international capabilities, and a global customer base throughout Europe, South America, Central America and South East Asia.
This new development will provide customers of both companies, many of whom are common, with access to an extended product range and service capability encompassing die design, end-of-arm tooling, transfer fingers, double blank protection systems, crossbar tooling, steel faced sensors, clamps, grippers, and pneumatic equipment.
Jim Mannebach, President and CEO of the Norgren Group, said: "This is a great development for both companies and for our customers, to whom we can now provide unparalleled expertise and choice of technology".
"We share a common approach in creating advantage for our customers through added-value solutions, and we look forward to strengthening and developing our capabilities still further through our future collaboration within the in-plant automotive sector".
