Combine these grippers with your gripping fingers to lift and move items in pick-and-place applications.

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.

For applications without access to compressed air, such as mobile robots, these grippers use electricity to perform highly accurate pick and place tasks including assembly, finishing, and packaging.

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.
