Steel Pipe End Effector With Pneumatic Grip and Rotate for CNC Loading

This custom end effector is designed to lift up to 250 pound steel pipes or cylinders to load a CNC machine. The tool can manually adjust to handle multiple widths. Tool pneumatically grips and pneumatically rotates in a clockwise/counterclockwise motion. This tool was suspended from a Gorbel Easy Arm 330 lb unit. This allowed utilizing float mode for easy loading of the large product into very sensitive machining centers.
