Product Overview
Vacuum & Soft Grippers are specialized end-effectors designed for pick-place operations of varied SKUs in packaging, food handling, e-commerce fulfillment, and light manufacturing. Vacuum grippers use suction cups to handle flat, smooth, and rigid surfaces efficiently at high speeds, while soft grippers use compliant FDA-grade silicone or elastomer materials to conform to irregular shapes without damaging delicate items. Together, these technologies provide versatile, gentle, and high-speed handling for diverse product types — from rigid cartons and bottles to soft baked goods, fresh produce, and irregular packaged items. With cycle times of 0.5–2 seconds, these grippers support high-throughput production lines in food processing, packaging, and logistics operations. FDA-compliant and food-grade options enable direct contact with food products, opening applications in bakery, produce, meat, and dairy handling where hygiene is critical. The modular mounting system with ISO 9409 standard flanges enables quick changeover between gripper types, allowing one robot to handle diverse products with minimal downtime. Compatible with Universal Robots, Doosan, KUKA, and FANUC cobots and industrial robots, these grippers deliver reliable, gentle, and hygiene-compliant material handling for modern manufacturing and logistics operations.
