Machine tending without the jaw changes.
Load and unload mixed part families on one cell. Servo-Flex grips 6–120 mm with a single configuration — no stops to swap jaws, more billable machine hours.
The problem in the cell
Changeovers stop the machine
Every new part family means halting the cell to swap and re-validate jaws.
Setup time eats capacity
Manual jaw adjustment burns hours that should be billable machine time.
Mis-grips scrap parts
Each manual setting is a chance for a dropped part or a ruined run.
How Servo-Flex solves it
One gripper, all sizes
Grip 6–120 mm with a single configuration — no jaw swap between part families.
No manual setup
Servo-electric control adapts in software, removing the tuning step from changeovers.
Self-centering option
The 3-jaw Flexi 150 centers cylindrical parts precisely for accurate loading.
Runs unattended safely
The mechanical lock holds the part through pauses and power loss.
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.
Usable payload recovered
+8 kg
What you gain
More machine hours
Eliminating changeovers turns lost time into billable production.
Fewer references
One flexible gripper replaces a rack of dedicated tools.
+10% production
More uptime and fewer errors lift throughput on the same cell.

Frequently asked questions
What is a machine tending gripper?
It is the end-of-arm tool a robot uses to load raw parts into a machine and unload finished ones. A flexible machine tending gripper like Servo-Flex handles many part sizes without jaw changes.
How does Servo-Flex reduce machine downtime?
By gripping 6–120 mm with one configuration, it removes the stops needed to swap and re-validate jaws between part families, converting changeover time into billable machine hours.
Can one gripper handle different part diameters?
Yes. A single Servo-Flex configuration covers the full 6–120 mm range with three adjustable force levels, so mixed-diameter production needs no manual re-tooling.
Which model is best for CNC machine tending?
The 3-jaw Flexi 150 self-centers cylindrical parts up to 40 kg for precise loading; the Flexi 100 suits lighter cobot-tended cells.
