Sensitive materials, such as packaging foils, thin-walled sheet metals , plastics and other hard sheet and strip materials must be handled gently during processing to avoid damaging the conveyed materials in transport, positioning, drawing in, punching, welding, filling, coating, cutting, stretching, forming or sealing. These Iwis grip chains with clamping elements feature a special swivel arrangement that ensures optimised feeding and precise positioning of the conveyed products. The spring force can be adjusted to allow gentle gripping of a wide range of materials. Chain and clamping elements are wear-resistant, corrosion protected and pre-lubricated with food-safe lubricant as standard. The grip chains are available as simplex and duplex chain according to DIN8187-1. The grippers have either one or two tips; on request special gripper designs are also available.
