Dale Simmonds’ product focus this week features Simmatic’s range of Bottle Grippers from VMECA. We offer two types of Bottle Gripper for different bottle materials…
Bottle Grippers from VMECA
- Glass bottles – for these we have the BOT-Gripper: BO40 or BO45
- PET /plastic bottles – we recommend the BOT Gripper BF28
Both are pneumatically operated solutions. The mechanism inside the bottle gripper is an inflatable diaphragm that uses compressed air, not vacuum, to give a soft grip on top of the bottle. Different diameters available to suit different bottle sizes.
Bottle Grippers can be collated together to give an End of Arm Tool (EOAT) for many bottles depending on how you want it configured.

Innovative Industrial Handling Solutions…
Principle of Operation
Once the compressed air is supplied to the pick-up head the grip tube is inflated and clamps the product. When the compressed air supply is stopped, the check valve closes the air-inlet. The rapid outlet is opened and supplied air vented out, which releases the bottle.
