The gripper feed of type VGB is the result of a joint project between SANKYO Japan and BRUDERER Switzerland. The aim was to find an answer on the demand from the electronic market for a gripper feeder that could be not only mounted to new machines but also as retrofit on older BRUDERER machines.

Obvious is the very easy handling of the 3 types of VGB feeders and its very sensitive touch for thin and plated material. Another big advantage is that the feeder can be mounted on nearly all older types of BRUDERER stamping machines without big changes on the machine itself. The VGB can be directly connected to the mechanical drive shaft of the machine and the use of the toothed belt is therefore obsolete.

Furthermore the feeder is connected to the lubrication circuit of the machine and does not require a separate pump anymore which increases the ease of service and the life time of the feeder.
