FIPA | Needle gripper | Needle stroke 0-2 mm

The FIPA GR04.700-20 is a pneumatic needle gripper engineered for precise handling of flexible and air-permeable materials in automated manufacturing.

This double-acting unit features 32 needles at 0.7 mm diameter with a stroke range of 0-2 mm per jaw, enabling reliable gripping of textiles, felts, foams, and similar flat materials.

Weighing 0.114 kg, the gripper operates in ambient temperatures up to 70°C.

The double-acting mechanism uses separate compressed-air connections for needle extraction and retraction, supporting short cycle times in high-speed pick-and-place applications.

An additional air inlet enables fast blow-off for rapid product release.

A knurled screw allows stroke adjustment to accommodate varying material thicknesses.

The small-diameter needle design minimizes material penetration depth, while the flat entry angle provides stable handling of thin parts.

Compatible mounting brackets and spare needle plates are available to support long-term maintenance and system flexibility.

The pneumatic interface integrates with standard automation controls for coordinated needle movement in automated material handling systems.
