Pivot

The original flowline design had a pivoting gripper.

		Grip jaw - wide offset teeth (3080)	...Now Obsolete - Upgrade to Universal Gripper Grip jaw - wide offset teeth (3080) 7.6mm Wide

Universal

The pivot gripper limitations meant a redesign was necessary to the "Universal" Type

• Profiles were specified with multiple webs, meaning the gripper was physically too big to fit in small chambers
• Grippers needed to open higher and close to zero
• Gripper height needed to be limited
• There was a lot of confusion over handed grippers, the new design is unhanded
• The addition of a removable gripper insert makes the changeover of the consumable part quick and easy

Autoflow

Photo	Part Number	Description	Notes
	S0000124	Gripper Finger Left;Fixed-Autoflow2	...Now Obsolete. Use D0010770S instead Originally used on Autoflow A2001 to A2004 with blue gripper arm, supplied by Sturtz ...A2001 to A2004 are all Right to Left feed (Standard Hand) machines
	R0010038	Grip Finger Assembly (Autoflow)	...Now Obsolete Use D0010770 or D0010770-OH instead Unhanded, can be assembled to suit either hand machine. Fitted with shear pin Design idea was to stop the constant replacement of broken gripper arms. Concept was diffcult to get properly reliable Changes to software sequence at end of bar and sourcing cheaper alternatives made this design unnecessary
	D0010385	Grip Finger Insert	Insert used in the R0010038 assembly
	D0010384	Grip Finger Shear Pin	Sheer pin used in the R0010038 assembly
	D0010770S	Grip Finger for Autoflow M3 Sturtz Replacement (A2001-4)	Has M3 mounting holes
	D0010770	Grip Finger for Autoflow A2005+ M4 (L-R Feed)	Has M4 Mounting Holes This part is for The opposite hand (LtoR) Autoflows - It should have -OH suffix but this was incorrect from the beginning This is the only part on an Autoflow that is handed
	D0010770-OH	Grip Finger for Autoflow A2005+ M4 (R-L Feed)	Has M4 Mounting Holes This part is for The standard hand (RtoL) Autoflows - It should not have -OH suffix but this was incorrect from the beginning This is the only part on an Autoflow that is handed
