Vacuum Suction Gripper
The Suction Gripper for Cobots is a lightweight and adaptive vacuum-based end-effector designed for handling objects that are difficult to grasp with mechanical fingers. Ideal for irregular or flat items such as envelopes, small packages, and boxes, the suction gripper ensures gentle yet secure handling across logistics, packaging, e-commerce, and warehouse automation applications.
Its compact design allows cobots to pick items from tight spaces, conveyor belts, or bins, making it especially useful for tasks where a three-finger gripper is less effective. With built-in vacuum generation and seamless cobot integration, it delivers reliable, efficient, and non-damaging object manipulation.
