…gripper, the OnRobot Eyes vision system, and screwdriver and sanding tools. It also launched the 2FG7 cleanroom-ready parallel gripper. OnRobot builds MG10 magnetic gripper for smoother handling Today, OnRobot announced the MG10, a new electric magnetic gripper with programmable force features and built-in grip and part-detection features. The company said the MG10 is designed for materials handling, assembly, and machine-tending applications in manufacturing, automotive, and aerospace applications. “Standard magnetic grippers only provide simple on/off functionality,” stated OnRobot. “To adjust the force applied, users have to add rubber ‘feet’ to create space between the magnet and the part. This is a…

…work such as heat treatments, surface finishing procedures like sanding and machining, as well as separation of the support structure from the build plate. There is also labor and time associated with preparing and cleaning up the metal powder. “Organizations need to understand the part outside of the [metal AM] system and how it needs to be processed,” says Tyson Gregory, metals application engineer at EOS Solutions. “Often that is underestimated and adds to the cost.” Before contracting for metal AM services from a third-party, it’s important to codify how the on-demand manufacturing service provider controls and monitors the build…
