Collection:Festo Grippers

Grippers are essential components for industrial robots and handling systems, serving as the critical link between the workpiece and the handling mechanism. These systems are either pneumatically or electrically operated, providing versatile solutions for gripping, holding, positioning, and orienting workpieces or tools. By sitting on the outermost or last axis of a handling system, grippers ensure precise and reliable interaction with the workpiece.

Pneumatic grippers utilize compressed air to generate the force needed for gripping and holding tasks. They are ideal for applications requiring high-speed operation and robust performance. These grippers are connected to the general power line, ensuring consistent and efficient operation in various industrial environments.

Electric grippers, on the other hand, offer precise control and programmability, making them suitable for applications that demand high accuracy and flexibility. These grippers are also connected to the general power line, providing reliable performance and easy integration with existing systems.

When selecting grippers, consider the specific requirements of your application, such as the type of operation (pneumatic or electric), the required gripping force, and the compatibility with your handling system. These factors will help you choose the most suitable gripper, ensuring optimal performance and reliability in your industrial processes. By focusing on these criteria, you can simplify the decision-making process and ensure that your grippers meet the highest standards of accuracy and efficiency.
