Keet Posted June 25 Share Posted June 25 It took a while... I can't afford to send grippers overseas but I can spend some time welding and fitting. 14 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richcottrell Posted June 25 Share Posted June 25 I would love to understand a little more how you built this or even just a little bit of the thinking behind your design… but thanks for posting to the gripboard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Knowlton Posted June 26 Share Posted June 26 That turned out really good, fantastic design. I always say if can weld you can build anything. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Busa Posted June 26 Share Posted June 26 I've been after making one for a few years can I ask how you made the threaded actuator part I've been searching for ages trying to figure out what it came from. Its been my only stumbling block. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Busa Posted June 27 Share Posted June 27 Thanks guess it's easier than a telescopic device will look at doing that myself 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gripmaniac Posted June 28 Share Posted June 28 I can certainly appreciate how much thought went into the design. I'm quite impressed with the outcome - it turned out awesome !!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marko Posted June 30 Share Posted June 30 This is cool. Does it use an actuator or manual lever to load the crane scale? Have you considered adding a sensor to automate closure validation? Next step is automated rating assembly line and sell it to the big names to rate every single one 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is truly a grip nerd thing and the call for this is coming from inside the house. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Best sensor is a thin sheet of paper 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sid_arnes Posted June 30 Share Posted June 30 Awesome build. Paper varies a lot... .006"/.15mm to .012"/.3mm on the same sheet sometimes. For repeatability Brass shim stock at .001" seems more appropriate. Or .05mm shim stock in the civilized world 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
