What advantages do Wagner handling units offer?

We have been manufacturing such modules for over 40 years. In other words, this term has been anchored in our company name since it was founded .

Regardless of whether it is a parallel gripper, rotary indexing table, swivel drive or linear unit: in principle we manufacture automation units that are driven by pneumatics.

For quick orientation: pneumatic modules in the product finder .

But what is the difference to the (standard) cylinder that is commonly used in pneumatics?

We design and manufacture high-precision and durable units with enormous repeatability .
These are available customized or from stock (standard program),

The aim is to meet the high demands of our customers - regardless of the application in each industry.
The aim is also to offer the designer a technically complete tool!

Examples of this are

• External stops for clear end positions
• integrated guides (bearings)
• existing mounts for sensors
• existing mounts for hydraulic dampers
• Grid dimensions for easy joining of units - also among each other
• Additional functions such as air ducts, mounting holes, etc.

 

Such features are usually not found in classic pneumatic cylinders.

Do you have any objections?

• Of course, your application may not require an accuracy of e.g. +/- 0.01 mm ...
• Of course, you can also provide your own mounts for sensors, dampers and stops in your application...
• Or you move little load and therefore do not need a damper...

In contrast, think for a moment about a linear slide that has to be installed in a miniature format in a confined space. There is little room for further attachments - not to mention additional costs and tolerances.

And on the subject of "dampers" above: You don't have to integrate a damper - you can! The space for it is technically provided. Simply specify the variant you need when ordering or order from the accessories.

Important to know - our pneumatic units are available in various sizes. The modules are mounted using a centering system (fits and grid dimensions). Accessories include connector strips and adapter plates.

It always depends on your intended use and the overall view whether you take advantage of the benefits of our products.
