CRITICAL TOOLING — These jaws mount on a robotic arm that adds sealing rings to steel couplings. THREAD GRIPPER — Each jaw clamps outward on the threaded inner surface of the coupling. SURFACE HARDNESS — T o withstand the abrasion of sharp threads, this part must be made of metal. MASSIVE SAVINGS — Dixon Valve achieved 30x cost savings and 10x time savings by printing these jaws. GRIPPER JAWS MARKFORGED APPLICATION SPOTLIGHT MARKFORGED.COM WET SANDED Wet sanding the part while in green state yields exceptional surface finish in 15-20 min. CONTACT SURFACE 3D printing allows engineers to easily design the contact surface for optimal gripping. Dixon Valve has long used Markforged composite 3D printers to manufacture End of Arm T ooling (EOAT) for their many robotic arms. However, they
