Zyvex Instruments MicroGrippers

Features
Zyvex’s patented microgripper systems are active, micromachined silicon structures for micro- and nanoscale research, development, and production applications. With up to 50 µm of tip actuation available, these grippers are capable of manipulating micro-components with features from 1 µm to 500 µm in size. Low voltage analog control permits the most delicate of micro-assembly operations to be performed.Zyvex Microgrippers are available in a range of in-stock tip openings and thicknesses. Actuation of the gripper arms is available with power-on opening motion and power-on closing motion. These grippers are ideal for handling delicate microscale components and operate in both vacuum and ambient conditions.
