What is the Effecto FSG-4 and what is it used for?

The Effecto FSG-4 Electric Soft Gripper is a four-finger robotic end effector designed to safely handle delicate, irregular, and variable-shaped objects without damage. It is commonly used for food processing, pharmaceutical handling, electronics assembly, and pick-and-place tasks where adaptive gripping is needed.

What power supply does the FSG-4 require?

The Effecto FSG-4 operates on 15 to 25 VDC, which integrates seamlessly with most collaborative robots that support an electric interface in that voltage range.

How much weight can the FSG-4 lift?

The Effecto FSG-4 lifts payloads up to 1.5 kg with 0.08 mm repeatability for precise and consistent placement.

Can the FSG-4 handle wet or moist objects?

Yes, the FDA-compliant silicone fingers on the FSG-4 grip wet items reliably and are approved for direct food and pharmaceutical contact.

How is the FSG-4 programmed?

Grip force and finger position are programmed and adjusted via a Wi-Fi accessible interface, allowing flexible task adaptation without tools or complex setup.

Is the FSG-4 suitable for noisy production environments?

The FSG-4 operates quietly at 70 decibels or less, making it suitable for both production lines and laboratory environments where low noise is preferred.

Electric soft gripper versus pneumatic or parallel-jaw grippers:

The Effecto FSG-4 uses soft electric fingers instead of rigid jaws or pneumatic actuators. Choose it when delicate, wet, or variable-size objects need damage-free handling and when programmable grip force fits your workflow.

For bakery items, produce, or pharmaceuticals, FDA-compliant silicone fingers grip wet surfaces reliably without bruising or contamination risk.
On shared collaborative robot cells with tight footprints, the 1.3 kg gripper body leaves payload headroom for sensors or larger end-of-arm tools.
When part geometry changes shift-to-shift, Wi-Fi programming adapts finger position and force in seconds rather than requiring mechanical adjustment.
In labs or packed production floors, quiet operation at 70 dB or less avoids noise complaints and hearing fatigue compared to pneumatic alternatives.
For 0.08 mm placement repeatability on small, delicate assemblies, the electric gripper's precise control outperforms manual or vacuum-based methods.
