Maximize your automation with the Wemo Grip System (WGS)
In an industry where precision, flexibility, and rapid changeovers are crucial, it is important to have smart and efficient solutions for End-of-Arm Tooling (EOAT). With the Wemo Gripper System (WGS), you get a modular and easily adaptable gripper system that helps you optimize your automation and increase productivity. Whether you work with sprue picking, insert molding, or complex multi-component solutions, WGS gives you the freedom to build and customize your gripping tool to your specific needs—without the need for specially designed components.
What is WGS?
Wemo Gripper System (WGS) is a modular solution that makes it easy to create EOAT for robots in the plastics industry. The system consists of standardized, high-quality components that can be combined in many different ways to meet specific production requirements.
Unlike traditional gripper systems, which often require custom parts and time-consuming assembly, WGS offers a fast, cost-effective, and flexible solution.
The advantages of WGS
Modular design – Combine components to build grippers without the need for custom-made parts.
Quick assembly – Simple connections without the need for special tools or advanced technical expertise.
Cost-effective – Standardized, mass-produced parts mean lower costs and shorter lead times.
Reusable components – Rebuild and adapt the gripper to changing production needs.
Low weight and high stability – Optimized material choices allow the robot to work faster and more energy-efficiently.
Tailored to your needs – Three types of grippers
1. Angle grippers – Powerful and reliable
Angle grippers are the most commonly used type and have an arched movement that provides strong gripping force. They are ideal for sprue picking and handling parts that require a stable and secure grip.
Available in compact models for confined spaces.
Available with integrated gripping claws or replaceable jaws.
2. Parallel grippers – When precision is crucial
Parallel grippers are ideal when you need high precision or to handle parts in confined spaces.
Perfect for inserting components into molds.
Available in double-acting versions for better control and repeatability.
3. Suction cups and vacuum grippers – For fragile or flat parts
When parts are too large, fragile, or have flat surfaces, vacuum grippers are the best option.
Available in different materials depending on temperature and surface properties.
Compatible with WGS quick-change systems for fast changeovers.
Quick connection with WGS Quick-Lock
To make gripper changes even faster and easier, Wemo also offers WGS Quick-Lock – a smart quick-connect system that allows you to easily change grippers without tools.
Safe and precise mounting – eliminates the risk of incorrect placement.
Quick changes – a simple thumb movement locks and unlocks the gripper.
Automatic connection of vacuum, air, and electricity during mounting.
