Refurbishment

This program gives a second life to your existing grippers by replacing all wear parts.​

The refurbished grippers provide the same PHD quality at a minimal cost. They are reintegrated into production, thereby reducing your total costs and preventing component loss.

It is worth noting that refurbished grippers come with a "like new" 12-month warranty.
