Lift and move items in pick-and-place operations where small particles could damage sensitive electronics.

The needles on these grippers grab hold of flexible and porous items that are difficult for vacuum cups and magnetic grippers to grasp, such as fabric, foam, glass and metal fiber, and carpet.

Unlike air-powered grippers, which leak air, these electric grippers won’t release dirt or particulates, making them good for pick-and-place assembly, packaging, and finishing jobs in labs, electronics plants, and other clean environments. Often used with mobile robots, all have a servomotor that opens and closes the grippers with equal force.

Mimicking a human hand, these grippers have soft, flexible silicone fingers that curl around items to pick them up.

Simply connect these fingers to your Schunk gripper and start moving items.

These finger blanks come ready to mount to SMC or Schunk grippers, so you can make custom fingers without starting from scratch. Just machine the blank’s gripping end to create fingers that will securely grip your specific parts.
