FlexJet3 Nozzle Compatibility
FlexJet3 nozzles are designed to provide a robust coupling between the spindle and nozzle assembly. As a result of this new design, FlexJet3 nozzles are not compatible with the first Generation of FlexJet heads used on the GSM series of machine.
FlexJet3 ceramic tipped nozzles (multi-port and Blade versions) are designed to last 11 million cycles. Compliant-tipped nozzles are designed to last 3 million cycles.

With the purchase of a Genesis platform, a starter nozzle kit is included with each head. The starter kit for a FlexJet head includes quantity two each of 1040, 1060, 1120, 1140, 1220, 1240, 1320, and 1340. The starter kit for an InLine4 head includes four each of 10MPF, 125F, 234F, and 340F. Additional quantities can be ordered as required by your application/environment.
Adjustable FlexJet Gripper
Gripper tooling is used for components with no flat surface for vacuum picking. Ribbon cable connectors, inter-board headers, and potting forms are examples of the components handled by this tooling. The gripping action is accomplished using the same vacuum and air kiss as the standard nozzle tips. The Adjustable Gripper can accommodate a variety of different components. The gripper range is shown in the following table.
Note: The gripper is not nozzle changer compatible.
