FORMHAND Soft Gripper, Pneumatic, 2 kg

FORMHAND Automation GmbH

$3,095.00

Pneumatic soft gripper with granulate-filled cushion that conforms to irregular object shapes. 8 cm gripping surface handles complex geometries without tooling changes. Maximum payload 2 kg, weighs 0.45 kg. Designed for collaborative robots in machine tending and intralogistics.

FORMHAND Soft Gripper, Pneumatic, 2 kg for Collaborative Robots:

The FORMHAND Soft Gripper, Pneumatic, 2 kg is a flexible gripper for industrial and collaborative robot applications, designed to handle variable shapes and complex surfaces in machine tending and intralogistics.

  • Payload: 2 kg
  • Weight: 0.45 kg
  • Gripping Surface Diameter: 8 cm
  • Mounting: Compatible with FORMHAND pneumatic module interfaces

Adaptive Handling with Soft Gripper Cushion:

The FORMHAND soft gripper utilizes a granulate-filled cushion for a customizable, conformable surface. The pneumatic soft gripper design adjusts to a wide range of geometries, decreasing the need for tooling changes and minimizing changeover time in workflows involving irregular or delicate components.

Applications for Pneumatic Flexible Gripper:

Specifically engineered for collaborative robot gripper setups, the FORMHAND model is suited for cobots in machine tending and logistics environments. The soft gripper for cobots adapts to mixed-part handling without sacrificing reliability.

Individual and Bundle Options for FORMHAND Soft Gripper:

Buyers can select the FORMHAND Soft Gripper, Pneumatic, 2 kg as a standalone flexible gripper module or as part of a complete cobot bundle with hose module, suction module, and pneumatic ejector included. The bundle simplifies installation for pneumatic gripper applications requiring quick start-up in collaborative settings.

Comparison with Other Pneumatic Grippers:

Unlike conventional rigid gripping tools, the FORMHAND soft gripper reduces dedicated tooling requirements by adapting its cushion to variable shapes. This feature shortens changeover times compared to standard grippers and can support workflows with frequent geometry changes.

Materials and Safety in Flexible Gripper Design:

The adaptable cushion on the FORMHAND Soft Gripper is filled with proven granulate material, offering gentle and reliable contact with sensitive parts. FORMHAND Automation prioritizes safety in the pneumatic soft gripper design for collaborative robot compatibility.

Compatible Robots and Systems:

The FORMHAND Soft Gripper, Pneumatic, 2 kg is optimized for collaborative robot brands used in machine tending and logistics, including cobots equipped with standard pneumatic interfaces. Check FORMHAND’s compatibility list for integration guidelines across supported collaborative robots.

FAQ Readiness:

  • Maintenance: Designed for fast cleaning, inspect regularly for cushion integrity.
  • Cleaning: Use standard robot-safe cleaning agents for granulate and pneumatic surfaces.
  • Lifespan: Cushion durability depends on handling frequency and object types; typical wear profiles available upon request from FORMHAND Automation.

Application
  • Collaborative Robot
  • Machine Tending
  • Intralogistics
  • Adapts to any surface, granulate-filled cushion conforms without tooling changes
  • Gentle contact preserves delicate parts, shape variability reduces damage risk
  • Built for collaborative robots in machine tending and intralogistics
  • Lifts 2 kg payload, gripping surface diameter 8 cm for mixed-part handling
  • Buy standalone module or complete bundle with hose, suction, ejector included
  • Weighs 0.45 kg, mounts via FORMHAND pneumatic module interfaces
  • Faster changeover versus rigid grippers when handling variable geometries
A robot gripper is an end effector that attaches to a robot arm to grasp and manipulate objects. The FORMHAND Soft Gripper uses a granulate-filled cushion that conforms to different shapes, making it suitable for handling delicate or irregular parts in collaborative robot applications.
Grippers are used to pick, hold, and place objects in industrial tasks. The FORMHAND Soft Gripper is designed for machine tending and intralogistics, where it handles variable geometries and mixed parts without requiring tooling changes between different objects.
The FORMHAND Soft Gripper, Pneumatic, 2 kg has a maximum payload of 2 kg. Its 8 cm diameter gripping surface adapts to different part shapes while maintaining this lifting capacity.
The FORMHAND Soft Gripper mounts via FORMHAND pneumatic module interfaces and is optimized for collaborative robots with standard pneumatic connections used in machine tending and logistics. Check FORMHAND's compatibility list for integration guidelines with your specific cobot model.
Yes, the soft gripper's granulate-filled cushion provides gentle contact that preserves delicate parts and reduces damage risk through its conformable design. This makes it ideal for handling sensitive or irregularly shaped objects without rigid tooling.
You can buy the FORMHAND Soft Gripper as a standalone module or as a complete bundle that includes hose, suction module, and pneumatic ejector for faster setup in collaborative robot applications.

Soft gripper versus rigid gripper for variable-geometry handling:

The FORMHAND Soft Gripper is a pneumatic end effector designed for collaborative robots that need to handle mixed part shapes and delicate surfaces without dedicated tooling per geometry. It contrasts with rigid parallel or specialty grippers that require tool changes or separate jaw designs for each part family.

  • For parts with irregular or curved surfaces on a shared cell, the granulate-filled cushion conforms without tooling changeover, cutting setup time between jobs.
  • For delicate components prone to marking or crushing, gentle contact from the soft cushion preserves surface finish and part integrity.
  • For machine tending lines with frequent geometry variation, the 8 cm gripping diameter and adaptive surface handle mixed batches on a single gripper, reducing downtime versus swapping rigid jaws.
  • For collaborative robot arms with tight payload budgets under 2 kg, the lightweight design at 0.45 kg leaves capacity for vision or secondary tools on the same mount.
  • For intralogistics and pick tasks where part shapes change run to run, one soft gripper replaces multiple rigid configurations.
