AI-Powered supplier vetting

SummaryThe supplier is identified as a combined company with manufacturing, export, service, quality-control, R&D, and sustainable-development information provided. It has exported goods for 20 years, with exports representing 51%–70% of total sales, and accepts multiple quotation and payment terms. Manufacturing and quality evidence includes CNC equipment, 100% finished-product inspection, 16 quality inspectors, raw-material traceability, and uniformly followed inspection instructions. The supplier supports sample, design, and full customization, 3D software design, ODM, and OEM for well-known brands. After-sales-related procedures are documented for complaints and corrective/preventive actions, but supplier-service assessment procedures and an approved supplier list are absent. Overseas service infrastructure is limited: no overseas warehouse, showroom, agent, or branch is reported. Financial credibility cannot be assessed from the provided non-financial year references, and no certifications or named customer...

Supplier typeThe supplier is explicitly classified as a combined company and provides information covering manufacturing, export trade, service, quality control, R&D, and sustainable development. This indicates a broad operating scope, but the slice does not define its exact legal or ownership structure beyond the combined classification.

After-Sales capabilityThe supplier has clear procedures and followed records for handling customer complaints and for corrective and preventive actions, supporting a documented response capability. However, it reports no overseas warehouse, showroom, agent, or branch, and offers overseas service in zero countries, indicating limited overseas service infrastructure.

R&D capabilityThe supplier provides 3D software design, offers sample, design, and full customization through R&D, introduced new products in the past year, and provides ODM services. It does not have an available SDK and reports no ERP integration for production, procurement, quality control, and logistics, so innovation capability is supported mainly by product-development and design evidence rather than digital-system maturity.

Production capacityProduction capability is supported by CNC lathes, CNC centers, and sawing machines, along with 100% finished-product inspection, 16 quality assurance and control inspectors, raw-material traceability, and uniformly followed inspection instructions. Reported average lead time is within 15 workdays in both peak and off-season, although production capacity volume is not stated.

Customization capabilityThe supplier explicitly supports customization from samples, customization from designs, and full customization, and also provides 3D software design services. These repeated capabilities across manufacturing and R&D evidence indicate broad customization support.

Product Q&A

Q:How do grippers work?

The gripper is connected to the compressed air supply system. As the compressed air is introduced into the cylinder, it powers the piston rod. The piston rod is connected to the gripping fingers. As the air pressure moves the piston up and down, the fingers open or close in a parallel or angular manner.

Q:What is a pneumatic gripper used for?

Pneumatic grippers are used in many pneumatic systems, as a means of grasping or holding parts; grippers may move, insert, stack or orient the parts to achieve a desired step in a manufacturing process.

Q:What are the types of grippers?

Gripper cylinder is divided into: parallel jaw grippers, swing air grippers, rotary air grippers, three-jaw grippers, four-finger grippers, bellows gripper, O-ring grippers, needle grippers, Multi-Finger and adaptive grippers.The MHZ2 series parallel air grippers are the most widely used.

Q:What is the difference between angular grippers and parallel grippers?

Parallel Grippers have fingers that move in straight lines towards the center or outside of the part to close and grip or open and release the part respectively, angular grippers have that hinge or pivot on a point to move the tips outward to release parts or inward to grip parts.

Q:What is gripper bore size?

High precision parallel style wide air grippers are available in a wide range of sizes and configurations with optional bores such as 10mm, 16mm, 20mm, 25mm, 32mm and 40mm.
