Who is Gimatic and what does it make?
Gimatic is an Italian manufacturer of industrial automation components, with a focus on gripping and handling parts at the end of robot arms. The range includes MPBM series angular electric grippers, MPRM series radial electric grippers, ZV series pneumatic slide modules and mounting brackets from the MFI family, such as MFI-A272, alongside its own line of vacuum components. From the Gimatic portfolio we can quote both individual grippers and vacuum components for robotic cells.
Gimatic covers mechanical gripping — electric and pneumatic — and vacuum technology in parallel, which simplifies the choice when a robotic cell combines both gripping principles. The MPBM (angular) and MPRM (radial) electric gripper series cover applications where electric actuation is preferred to pneumatic; behaviour on power loss we confirm by code, from the Gimatic documentation.
In sorting, deburring or plastic injection cells, the Gimatic range is an option for the final gripping component of the robot, where the stroke, gripping force and mechanical interface suited to the handled part have to be chosen.
What do we supply from the Gimatic range?
| Product | Description |
|---|---|
| MPBM Series Angular Electric Grippers | Electrically actuated grippers with angular opening. Used for gripping and removing parts from the mould in plastic injection or for handling semi-finished parts in deburring. For a quotation we need the opening stroke, the gripping force required and the type of mounting interface on the robot. |
| MPRM Series Radial Electric Grippers | Radial variant of the same electric grippers, with the jaws opening radially, suited where the part geometry or the space available in the cell do not allow angular opening. The correct selection depends on the size and weight of the handled part. |
| ZV Series Pneumatic Slide Modules | Pneumatic slides with recirculating ball guide and double acting, used for short-stroke linear movements at the end of the robot arm — for example to bring a gripper closer to or withdraw it from a narrow area. They are usually mounted together with a gripper or a blade holder from the same range. For a quotation we need the stroke required and the air pressure available in the installation. |
| Vacuum Components | Separate line of components for vacuum gripping, the new range in the portfolio, complementary to mechanical grippers for applications where the part does not allow classic mechanical gripping — for example boxes, films or plates. We need the surface type and the weight of the part to recommend the suitable solution. |

How do we supply Gimatic in Romania?
We confirm availability and lead time for each reference with every quotation. We supply grippers and vacuum components from the Gimatic range to order, through supply channels in the European Union, usually in 1–4 weeks from order confirmation. To prepare a correct quotation, we need the exact series of the gripper or module — MPBM, MPRM, ZV or another reference —, the stroke or force required and the mounting interface on the robot. We confirm the availability of each reference in this broad range of components in the quotation.
The technical parameters — strokes, forces, diameters — for each variant in the range of grippers or vacuum components are established on the basis of the customer's order specification.
Frequently asked questions about Gimatic
What is the difference between the Gimatic MPBM and MPRM electric grippers?
MPBM is an angular electric gripper, with the jaws opening like a compass, while MPRM is a radial gripper, with the jaws moving linearly towards the centre. Both are electrically actuated, but the opening geometry makes them suited to different part shapes.
What is the Gimatic ZV pneumatic module?
ZV is a pneumatic slide module, with double acting operation and air supply from the rear, mounted on an adjustable recirculating ball guide. It can optionally be fitted with adjustable stroke limiters or an emergency stop, as well as magnetic sensors for confirming the position at the ends of the stroke.
Do you supply Gimatic grippers in Romania?
Yes, Gimatic grippers are sourced on request, with a lead time to order, usually 1–4 weeks, because we do not permanently keep such a varied range of sizes and strokes on the shelf. For a correct quotation we need the weight of the handled part, the stroke required and the type of actuation wanted, electric, pneumatic or vacuum.
What is the Gimatic MFI-A272?
MFI-A272 is part of the MFI family of mounting brackets from the Gimatic modular gripping system. The exact configuration and the compatibility with the gripper or tool used are confirmed from the data sheet of the model before the quotation.
How do I request a Gimatic quotation?
Send the Gimatic code from the nameplate and the quantity; we reply in English with availability and the lead time written in the quotation.
