CNC Machined Aluminum Sample Tube Gripper Jaw Block
This product case focuses on a CNC machined aluminum sample tube gripper jaw block used in medical laboratory automation equipment. The jaw block holds and positions tubes during transfer, scanning or sorting operations. The manufacturing focus is V-groove profile accuracy, jaw pair matching, dowel-hole position, thread quality, clean edges and protected delivery.
Application
The gripper jaw block can be used in sample tube handlers, automated analyzers, pipetting systems, barcode scanning modules, sorting equipment and medical laboratory automation prototypes.
Material and Finish
6061-T6 aluminum is a practical choice for strength, weight and machinability. Clear, black or blue anodizing can be discussed for wear resistance and appearance. Stainless guide pins, spacers and screws can be supplied as mating hardware.
Machining Features
Typical features include a V-groove or curved tube seat, dowel holes, threaded holes, relief pockets, side mounting holes, chamfers and matched left-right geometry. Stable workholding is important to maintain jaw parallelism and groove location.
Quality Control
Inspection can include groove profile, hole position, jaw parallelism, flatness, thread quality, chamfer condition and assembly fit with pins or tube gauges. Pair inspection is available when required.
Packaging and Supply
Jaw blocks can be packed in foam trays with pins, spacers and screws separated in bags. Lot labels, inspection reports and material certificates can be prepared according to order requirements.
FAQ
Can the jaw groove be customized for different tube sizes?
Yes. Groove angle, radius, depth and spacing can be machined according to the specified tube diameter and drawing.
Can left and right jaws be supplied as matched pairs?
Yes. Matched-pair machining and inspection can be arranged when assembly fit is critical.
Is anodizing available?
Yes. Clear, black or colored anodizing can be provided depending on cosmetic and wear requirements.
What inspection is recommended?
Groove profile, jaw parallelism, dowel hole position, thread quality and assembly fit are recommended checks.
Can prototype quantities be made?
Yes. Prototype and low-volume batches are suitable for lab automation development.
Can hardware be packed with the jaws?
Yes. Pins, spacers, screws and related accessories can be packed with the jaw blocks as a kit.
