Vacuum-based soft gripper for handling sensitive, delicate objects
Piab, Hingham, Mass., introduced piSOFTGRIP, a new soft gripping tool developed to grip sensitive and lightweight objects of odd geometries and/or an unusual surface.
piSOFTGRIP features three gripping fingers and a vacuum cavity, all in one piece, and the vacuum-driven gripping force is easily adjusted and controlled by the applied vacuum level.
