the mhw2 is ideal for applications where saving space is a necessity. in addition to its compact size, each one of the two fingers, synchronized by a rack and pinion, rotates back perpendicular to the gripper. in this position, the mhw2 will only require clearance for the body. while the fingers are retracted at a 180-degree angle, the gripper can be moved in an x-y plane to the work.
