Handle It — Euro Style

> French tooling supplier AMG (Grossoeuvre, France)--which works in Europe with companies including Peugeot Citroen, Renault, and Opel, among others--has developed a new series of vacuum suction manipulators for a variety of tasks, including handling stamped parts. Meant for use with a robot or other automated mechanism for spatial manipulation, a key characteristic of this X, Y, Z-axes handling system, which is described as being less expensive than other systems" (clearly a relative notion), is flexibility: the arms onto which either venturi vacuum cups or two-finger grippers are attached are not welded to the central stock, but fitted so that they can be modified for use with new products.
