It's built for machine-tending, part-transfer, and load\/unload applications where a gripper needs to ride the spindle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eChoose the mounting interface that matches your setup (integrated BT30 taper for direct spindle mounting, or a 3\/4\" sidelock shank for use in a sidelock tool holder), then choose how compressed air reaches the gripper: routed through the spindle's own through-spindle-coolant\/air path, or bypassed externally around the spindle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eMounting
