Pincher Action

Part No 44-27554

 

The pincer action tong head utilises various types of jaw to compliment the required task.
Basic dimensions are given on the drawing below. Please note that the jaw type will dictate the opening span and closed position, not all of the jaws will touch together when the head is in a fully closed position.
