Panasonic Gripper Nozzles

Panasonic Gripper Nozzles

Dobeter supply Panasonic gripper nozzles, which are specialized, vacuum-actuated tools used in Panasonic Surface Mount Technology (SMT) pick-and-place machines. Panasonic Gripper Nozzles feature precision-machined jaws that physically grasp and manipulate components that cannot be picked up using traditional vacuum-suction nozzles.
Dobeter’s Panasonic gripper nozzles are designed to handle parts with irregular shapes, sizes, or bottom-side features that prevent a standard nozzle from forming a secure vacuum seal.
The vacuum-actuated jaws provide a tight, controlled grip to securely pick up components and place them accurately on a printed circuit board (PCB). These Dobeter’s Panasonic gripper nozzles can pick components from various input types, such as tapes, trays, and other specialized feeding solutions. Because they physically grip the component, gripper nozzles can handle heavy or large parts with more stability, preventing slippage or damage during placement.
