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.
