Design and Operating Principle
Each finger bends when pressurised, wrapping softly around the object. Using single fingers lets engineers place them exactly where needed on a custom tool.
Because spacing and count are free, the same actuator supports quick prototyping to find optimal dimensions before building a fixed system.
FDA silicone and hygienic design suit food handling.
Integration and Selection
Mount fingers on profiles or plates around the product, connect air and tune pressure for grip.
Prototype layouts quickly, then order a custom multi-finger version.
