Servo-Flex®
CNC loading

Load your CNC machines, whatever the diameter.

Raw and finished parts, different sizes, one gripper. Servo-Flex self-centers and grips 6–120 mm with no jaw change — ideal for robotic CNC cells.

The bottleneck

The problem in the cell

Raw vs finished, different grips

Loading rough stock and unloading machined parts often needs different jaws.

Diameter changes stop the cell

Each new part size means a jaw swap and re-teach on the loading robot.

Precision matters

Imprecise gripping causes loading faults, collisions and scrap in the chuck.

The fix

How Servo-Flex solves it

Self-centering 3-jaw

The Flexi 150 centers cylindrical parts on the robot axis for accurate chuck loading.

6–120 mm, one setup

Cover a wide diameter range without changing jaws between parts.

Heavy parts handled

Up to 5 kN per jaw lets it lift cylindrical parts up to 40 kg.

Coolant- and chip-ready

Servo-electric, sealed design built for the realities of the machine shop.

Payload economics

Recover the robot payload.

On a 40 kg robot, swapping a 12 kg gripper for a 4 kg Servo-Flex lifts usable payload from 28 kg to 36 kg — heavier parts, same robot.

Benefits

What you gain

Lights-out capable

Mechanical hold and no air make unattended CNC tending safe and reliable.

Fewer setups

One gripper across part sizes means faster job changeovers.

Higher spindle uptime

Less time loading, more time cutting — more parts per shift.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

What gripper is best for CNC loading?

A self-centering electric gripper is ideal. The 3-jaw Servo-Flex Flexi 150 centers cylindrical parts, grips 6–100 mm with one configuration, and handles parts up to 40 kg.

Can one gripper load both raw and finished parts?

Yes. Because Servo-Flex grips a wide diameter range with adjustable force, the same gripper can handle rough stock and machined parts without a jaw change.

Is it suitable for unattended (lights-out) CNC cells?

Yes. The mechanical clamp holds the part even on power loss and there is no air supply to fail, making it well suited to unattended operation.

How does it improve CNC productivity?

By removing jaw changes and loading faults, it cuts setup time and increases spindle uptime — more finished parts per shift.
