O-Ring and Seal Installation from small to large applications.

Spread and place seals with these dual motion automatic o-ring placement assembly machines. Two sizes available, one for handling up to 3 inch I.D. AGP-6-OR (six jaw) and a larger unit to handle up to 12 inch I.D. AGP-8-OR (eight jaw) multi motion through-hole parallel grippers. (read more)

A way to control o-ring seal placement is to step the spreading tooling jaws. On the six jaw unit every other spreading jaw will be shorter. The ejector jaws push the o-ring off the first three spreading jaws, it will form a triangle and the three sides will be locked into the grove of the part. The O-ring snaps into the groove in a controlled manner,and achieves a reliable process. (read more)

AGO Collision Sensors are for a wide variety of applications to increase production. There are many names for the robotic safety devises, crash protectors, collision sensors, load limiter. They all have the same purpose, to minimize or completely prevent damage to robot and tooling. The moment trip point settings can be controlled by air pressure and is compliant in the X, Y and Z axes. (read more)

Grippers provide up to 180 degrees of angular jaw travel allowing the grippers to completely retract from the work area eliminating another required axis of travel. These pneumatic air driven grippers come in six bore sizes. (read more)
