Zaytran Launches the XRAY-S-5800 Gripper

In an exciting advancement for industrial automation, Zaytran, Inc. has unveiled the XRAY-S-5800 robotic gripper, tailored for high-acceleration applications in extremely large-part automation. This innovative product is poised to revolutionize the way large components are handled within manufacturing settings, making processes faster and more efficient than ever before.

Unmatched Capabilities for Heavy Payloads

The XRAY-S-5800 gripper is engineered to manage hefty payloads, boasting a gripping force of 5,800 N (approximately 1,300 lb) for each jaw. This robust capability allows it to maneuver large castings with precision, particularly in environments such as horizontal machining centers. As the size and load-bearing capacity of industrial robots continue to expand, Zaytran has risen to the challenge by developing a gripper that not only meets but exceeds the requirements for large-scale robotic automation systems.

Ted Zajac Jr., President of Zaytran, emphasized the evolutionary nature of the XRAY-S-5800, stating, “This latest gripper builds upon our previous design but is enhanced to support larger automation systems, combining exceptional gripping force with an innovative synchronization system.” The new CDA bronze-based synchronizing technology enhances the longevity of the precision mechanism, providing clients with consistent reliability and substantial long-term value.

Advanced Design Enhancements

One of the standout features of the XRAY-S-5800 is its unique dual machine-tool bearing rails. This innovative design allows the gripper to handle side and moment loads created during high-G acceleration and deceleration, significantly improving reliability and reducing cycle times. This enhancement is particularly crucial for the seamless transfer of large components, such as engine blocks, between operational stations in a manufacturing environment.

Moreover, the gripper incorporates a range of advanced functionalities to further boost its versatility:

• - Torque Management: With the ability to generate up to 1,400 Nm (1,020 ft-lb) of torque, the XRAY-S-5800 enables robots to operate at elevated speeds without compromising stability during execution.
• - Analog and Digital Positioning: Equipped with analog and digital scale options, users can monitor slide positions and confirm part sizes to facilitate the operation of multiple product variants on the same production line.
• - Power-Out-Brake (POB): An optional safety feature that mechanically locks the jaws in place during pneumatic pressure loss, preventing unexpected part drops during power interruptions.

These features not only enhance the operational efficiency of the XRAY-S-5800 but also increase safety during automated tasks, further facilitating its integration into existing production lines.

Availability and Distribution

The XRAY-S-5800 grippers are now available for immediate shipment through FESTO Americas, Zaytran's distribution partner, allowing businesses to enhance their manufacturing capabilities right away. As Zaytran continues to innovate in the field of robotic automation, the XRAY-S-5800 stands as a testament to the company's commitment to meeting the evolving needs of its customers.
