DE-STA-CO Robo- hand's Next Generation Direct Connect Double Wedge Parallel Grippers (DPD Series) are designed for clean room environments such as those found in medical applications. The DPD-E sealed jaw boot is available with scavenge ports for applications where mechanism lubricant could cause contamination by grease exiting the gripper. For applications in hazardous or dirty environments that could cause damage to the gripper, the E sealed jaw boot has a purge port option. Also, in hazardous or dirty environments, it is recommended to plug all unused mounting hole threads in the jaws because some of these holes may be drilled through to the internal mechanism of the gripper allowing particulate ingestion. For this reason, the jaw's end holes of the DPD-B bottom jaw option are plugged.
