Gripping End Effectors

Our powered gripping end effectors use a latch grip or friction grip to lift your parts.  Gripper jaws are customized to fit the geometry of your part and can be designed to accommodate multiple model variations.  Givens can provide innovative solutions to lift your part in a way that suits your existing production process, with grippers handling lightweight parts of a few lbs, to heavy systems that can pickup 2000lb + parts, and rotations and tilts to get the gripper into the right orientation. 

Whatever your lifting needs, we can help you find a solution that gets the job done while keeping your operators safe and meeting ergonomic best practices.  Contact us to discuss your custom lifting needs!
