Gripper arm

Handling large components

The "One Screw System" (TOS) from automation specialist Tünkers is a modular gripper system which, in the TOS 002 double profile version, is particularly suitable for heavy and large components in automotive production.

The base frame of the system consists of an octagonal profile with a staggered hole pattern, which ensures a positive fit. The connections are based on standard round tube components from Tünkers to optimize costs and are friction-locked together. All components and elements are carefully matched to each other and can be individually combined.

The system efficiently combines the advantages of positive locking in the base frame with those of frictional locking in the gripper arms. The variable screw connection concept makes it possible to attach the connecting clamps in the base frame to the octagonal base frame profile with just one screw. This allows users to benefit from a fast assembly time. Assembly is also very simple, as no blind rivet nuts are used and no special tools are required. To ensure a defined clamping situation, each screw connection is also provided with a fitting sleeve. The positioning of the clamps is optimally coordinated using an alternating hole pattern with a spacing of 30 mm per surface and 15 mm offset to the nearest surface.
