AGI’s product line includes: pneumatic grippers, linear actuator, rotary actuators, feed escapements, robotic tool changers , multi motion actuators, robotic grippers and o-ring assembly grippers. Our products serve all markets including, assembly, automation, robotics, packaging, pharmaceuticals, material handling and automotive applications.
Pneumatic gripper has three major styles, parallel gripper, angular gripper , and custom units such as o-ring assembly unit. Gripper is used to hold or clamp a part much like a human hand. They are typically used between a pick and place or a robot and the part being handled. Grippers have wide range of sizes jaw and gripping forces for most any industrial application. Robotic grippers range from miniature series to units that have 1500 lbs. of gripping force.
Rotary Actuator Rack and Pinion type with flange output has many advances to improve productivity. Pneumatic low profile compact rotary actuators are ideal for payloads from 1 lb (.44Kg) to 30 lbs (13.6Kg). The standard rotations available are 45, 90, or 180 degrees. Built in adjustable hard stops on output flange prevent pinion breakage. AGR units have zero back-lash due to the cross ported drive pistons never bottoming out; this also achieves true force throughout the rotation and end of stroke.
Linear Actuators Slides have three styles, base slides, magnetically coupled rodless slides, thruster and pneumatic actuators. The units provide smooth linear motion due to the precision ball bearings riding on hardened ground shafts. The pneumatic linear actuators are internally powered by an air cylinder. Miniature Linear Actuators are also available where space is limited. Rodless Linear Actuators or Guided rodless air cylinders are different from standard air cylinders, no piston rod will extends past the cylinder body. The internal piston is connected to the carriage magnetically, pulling the outer carriage along with the piston, this is ideal for long stroke applications.
Feed Escapements actuator is ideal for singulating and release of individual parts from hoppers, conveyors, vibratory feeder bowls, tracks and magazines. These compact long stroke Linear actuators escapements are internally sequenced.
Robotic Tool Changers or End Of Arm tooling provides the flexibility to automatically change end-effectors or other peripherals. Robotic tool changer has two mating halves, one called Robot Side and the other Tool Side. They couple locked together via a pneumatic air cylinder and have user electrical contacts, pneumatic, water pass through. This makes a robot very versatile for high production environment. Robotic load limiters or robotic collision sensors prevent damage to E.O.A.T and other robotic peripherals.
Automation of o-ring assembly requires many parts to work as a whole, check out our video on the O-Ring Assembly page. Typically a vibratory bowl will separate the o-rings, feed them down a track into a dead nest for the o-ring gripper to pick and place the seal on the parts.
Pneumatic double acting cylinders require a four way two position valve to operate them. Combining these actuators can yield an efficient robotic pick and place system for lean manufacturing. Our fast deliveries bring your inventory costs down and keep your production schedule up.
