Design and Operating Principle
Carbon fibre gives stiffness with minimal weight, so more of the cobot's capacity goes to the product.
Integrating the vacuum generator, control and switch in the gripper means only air and a signal are needed.
Soft peripheral foam reduces injury risk in collaborative operation.
Integration and Selection
Pick the foam size for the product footprint, connect air and I/O, and use the vacuum switch for grip confirmation.
