DESTACO Launches uRDH Series Universal Grippers for Industrial Automation

Designed for industrial automation environments, the new grippers combine heavy-duty actuation drives with universal mounting solutions that allow direct attachment of popular third-party finger designs, minimizing integration downtime across assembly, pharmaceutical, automotive, and CNC machining sectors.

Universal Mounting and Third-Party Finger Compatibility

According to technical specifications published by DESTACO, this compatibility lets plant engineers transfer existing tooling fingers directly onto the new hardware without redesigning end-effector setups. RobotToday reports that this cross-compatibility directly reduces system integration time and helps maintain production continuity during retrofits. The grippers are manufactured in multiple sizing tiers to handle small components for cleanroom assembly lines as well as heavy metal parts for CNC milling centers.

Heavy-Duty Actuation and Field-Proven Durability

Industrial automation lines demand consistent clamping force across millions of operational cycles regardless of environmental fluctuations or finger weight. According to DESTACO product documentation, the uRDH and uRTH units rely on conservative specification ratings to guarantee identical grip force and structural longevity over millions of cycles. The internal architecture utilizes a robust actuation drive mechanism built to withstand harsh manufacturing conditions without losing precision.

Industrial Applications Across Sectors

Automated manufacturing facilities deploy parallel grippers for material handling, machine loading, and part sorting. According to coverage by RobotToday, the uRDH series addresses industry demand for flexible hardware that adapts to multiple production layouts. Pharmaceutical packaging lines require delicate yet firm handling of small vials, whereas automotive stamping plants demand high-payload capacity.
