What kind of gripper to use
Each lumber industry has his own specifications
There are different internal and external designs to fit each need:
· External: the bodies of the grippers are made with different materials and designed to fit with the working environment
·Flush: the most common one, available in steel or aluminum
·Pan: recommended in the sawmills or pallet industries or where extreme conditions exist, the perimeter flange provides a very strong and safe design in case of collision
· Internal: all are equipped with the Joulin Wave System™ for energy savings and non-sensitivity
