Maintenance-free 3D-printed grippers improve effectiveness of packaging machines1/11/2018
Metal grippers used in the packaging industry are usually limited to a single format. This forces customers to wait long periods of time until a new, customized gripper is made. Developed by 3D printing, plastic grippers made of igus tribo-filaments are up to 85 percent cheaper and 70 percent faster to manufacture than their metal counterparts. |
