Robot-Ready Air-Powered Grippers
Powered by compressed air, these grippers pick and place parts for machine-tending, packaging, and assembly tasks. They come with everything you need to connect to your robot, and built-in air control valves eliminate the need for complicated external systems. Just connect the included tubing to your air supply and control everything through your robot’s software. These grippers pick up parts from the inside or outside—for example, pick up a hollow part from the inside or a solid part from the outside. They also have a built-in blow-off nozzle that clears debris before pickup.
These grippers come with a robot mount, electrical connections, and software plug-ins tailored to FANUC CRX, Universal Robot (UR), and ABB arms. Add fingers and they’re ready to grip. Ready-to-use fingers are sold separately.
Unlike collaborative robot-ready grippers, these grippers operate at high forces. They may require additional safety precautions if you’re working near your collaborative robot.
These grippers come with a long electrical cord with wire leads that connect to terminals on your robot controller. Use the software plug-in to control these grippers from your teach pendant. Then you can use your teach pendant to open and close the grippers and toggle the air blow-off nozzle on or off.
The IP67-rated control box of these grippers shields the electrical components from coolant. Plus, their jaws are rated IP40, so solid objects, such as chips produced during machining, won’t obstruct their motion.
Choose a single gripper for simple pick-and-place operations. It holds one part at a time.
Dual grippers can help reduce cycle times by handling two parts at once. For example, you might use one gripper to unload a part from your machine, then rotate the robot arm and use the second gripper to load a new part.
Stroke width is the total distance the gripper fingers move when opened or closed.

These adapters allow your gripper to handle a wider range of part sizes. You can also quickly adjust finger placement for different jobs. Each pair of adapters includes a jaw mount and a positioning slide for each jaw of your gripper. The jaw mounts slide into the gripper’s jaw and your fingers attach to the positioning slides. Scales on the jaw mounts let you precisely place the positioning slides. Once in place, tighten the thumb screws to secure them.
No need to machine your own gripper fingers. Choose these fingers to pick up parts with basic shapes, such as those with flat or simple curved edges.
Robot-Ready Collaborative Electric Grippers
Work safely alongside collaborative robots as they perform machine tending, packaging, and assembly tasks. These grippers help you meet ISO/TS 15066 standards thanks to their built-in safety features—they limit gripping force to safe levels and have a plastic housing that protects you from pinch points and sharp edges in case of a collision.
These grippers come with a robot tool mount, electrical connections, and software plug-ins tailored for FANUC CRX and Universal Robots (UR) arms. Once you attach fingers, these grippers are ready to pick and place items. Ready-to-use fingers are sold separately or machine your own for more complex shapes.
Electrically powered and actuated entirely by your robot, these grippers don’t need a compressed air supply or complicated air control valves. They apply a set force every time the jaws move. Grip items from the outside or inside. For example, pick up a solid item from the outside and a hollow item from the inside. These grippers also have a built-in sensor that your robot can use to confirm that a part has been picked up.
FANUC-approved or UR+ certified, all grippers have been tested to work seamlessly with your robot. Once you attach the gripper to your robot, download the software plug-in and install it on your robot teach pendant. This allows you to use your teach pendant to open and close the grippers.
Each gripper has set gripping forces to pick up items. Use the switch to choose the appropriate force.
Grippers come with a short electrical cord that connects to the end of your robot arm.
Grippers with LED status ring can be programmed from your teach pendant to display one of three colors based on the gripper’s status. For example, display a green light if the gripper has picked up an item, yellow after releasing an item, and red if a pickup has failed. They include a 4 meter electrical cord with wire leads that connect to the terminals on your robot controller.
Stroke width is the maximum total change in distance between fingers when the gripper actuates.

Robot-Ready Electric Soft Grippers
Mimicking a human hand, these grippers have soft, flexible silicone fingers that curl around items to pick them up. Unlike standard grippers with rigid fingers, these grippers can grasp fruit, bagged items, and other delicate objects without crushing them. They are powered and actuated entirely by your robot, so there's no need for an air supply or control valves. Connect them to terminals on your robot controller with the included 9 1/2 ft. electrical cord. A simple toggle on your controller’s digital outputs opens and closes the fingers. Mount them to most robot arms, like FANUC CRX and Universal Robots arms, thanks to their mounting slots that match a variety of ISO mounting patterns.
To program their range of motion and position, you’ll have access to a simple web-based interface from any smartphone or laptop. You don’t have to worry about hooking these up to your network. They generate their own wireless network like a hotspot, so you can connect your device to the setup interface to program them. If you are using these grippers with a Universal Robots arm, you can download a URCap plugin from the manufacturer's website for user-friendly control through your teach pendant software.
The fingers are made of FDA-compliant silicone for direct contact with food.
Grippers with fixed grip force apply the same amount of force every time. This helps them pick up most items successfully.
Grippers with adjustable grip force are the best choice to grip extremely sensitive items, such as baked goods or fragile glassware, because you can fine-tune the gripping force. These grippers also have part confirmation, which means they can send a signal to one of your robot controller's digital inputs to tell it whether a part has been successfully picked up. If the pickup fails, you can program your robot to try the pickup again.
2-finger grippers are good at picking up objects with uniform shapes, such as bottles and boxes.
4-finger grippers are a good choice if you plan to pick up irregularly shaped objects and need additional points of contact for a secure hold. They work well with fruits and vegetables, fabrics, and flexible packaging.
Finger covers (sold separately) protect the gripper fingers from residue left from the material you're picking. These silicone covers slide over the fingers for picking and slide off for cleaning. They are FDA compliant for direct contact with food.
Finger spacing range describes the distance between the fingers across their full range of motion, from pressed together to stretched open. It’s measured from the inside surface of the fingers.

Robot-Ready Electric Grippers
For a firm—but not too firm—grip on parts, these grippers give you precise control over the force and width at which they open and close. Whether you’re packaging, assembling, or tending machines, these grippers come with everything needed to get your robot started. They’re versatile too, picking up parts from the outside or inside. A built-in sensor detects when the part is picked up, so your arm knows it can move to the next location.
They include a robot mount, electrical connections, and software plug-ins tailored to FANUC CRX and Universal Robot (UR) arms. There’s no need for compressed air or tricky valve setups—these grippers are fully powered and actuated by your robot. Just add fingers and they’re ready to grip. Ready-to-use fingers are sold separately.
Unlike collaborative robot-ready grippers, these grippers can operate at high forces. They may require additional safety precautions when working near your collaborative robot.
To install these grippers, simply plug the included cord into the end of your robot arm. Use the software plug-in to control these grippers from your teach pendant.
