Kurt Workholding announces the launch of its new RV24 Robotic Gripper — a two-finger parallel gripper featuring a patent pending design that enables automated finger/end effector changes without changing the gripper body itself. According to Kurt, the quick-change jaws enable customers to improve automation efficiency, save on gripper-body expenses and create greater part-holding flexibility.

Features of the compact Kurt RV24 Gripper include integrated electronics with sensors that ensure fingers and parts are in place and ready for production. A high-strength aluminum alloy keeps the gripper weight to a minimum while a hard-coat finish reduces wear and increases life in the field. The new gripper size enables smaller part handling, lighter minimum clamping force and easier storage where space is a premium. The RV24 is designed to work with a range of robotic applications and can perform well on cobots or smaller robots.

The Gripper’s double-acting piston enables flexible clamping and un-clamping force. Customers can choose from machinable aluminum or steel finger options that can be machined to work in a variety of applications. Additional finger sets are also sold separately along with finger clips for holding multiple gripper sets.
