FORMHAND Soft Gripper Pneumatic, 2 kg

FORMHAND Automation GmbH

$14,000.00

FORMHAND pneumatic soft gripper with granulate-filled cushion that conforms to varied part shapes without custom tooling. 8 cm module, 0.45 kg, 2 kg payload. Designed for collaborative robots in machine tending and intralogistics.

FORMHAND Soft Gripper Pneumatic, 2 kg:

The FORMHAND Soft Gripper Pneumatic, 2 kg, is a flexible pneumatic gripper designed for collaborative robots and industrial automation tasks requiring gentle, form-fitting handling of varied surfaces and workpieces.

  • Maximum payload: 2 kg
  • Gripper diameter: 8 cm
  • Gripper weight: 0.45 kg

Key Features of the FORMHAND Soft Gripper Pneumatic, 2 kg:

This soft granulate gripper leverages a granulate-filled cushion for adaptive picking, making it a versatile cobot gripper for manufacturers handling frequent product changes. The cushion's unique conformity reduces tooling changeover time compared to task-specific or rigid grippers, supporting cost-effective, high-mix production lines. The FORMHAND Soft Gripper Pneumatic, 2 kg, is compatible with FORMHAND’s modular system, and users can select either individual modules (SKU: FHM080) or complete cobot bundles with hose, suction, and ejector operation for direct robot mounting.

Industry Applications:

Engineered specifically for cobot integration, the FORMHAND Soft Gripper Pneumatic, 2 kg, is widely used in machine tending, intralogistics, pick-and-place, and assembly operations. For more about vacuum grippers or see machine tending solutions for collaborative robot end effectors.

Compliance and Safety:

The cobot gripper conforms to ISO/TS 15066 requirements for collaborative robot safety, enabling direct interaction with workers in compliant cells. The robust design is validated for safe use in industrial automation environments.

Selection Criteria:

The FORMHAND Soft Gripper Pneumatic, 2 kg, is preferred where flexible, gentle gripping is required on delicate, irregular, or varied parts. Its lightweight and rapid changeover design make it a strong alternative to traditional rigid grippers when frequent product or shape changes are expected.

  • This gripper is designed for integration with collaborative robots.
The FORMHAND Soft Gripper Pneumatic, 2 kg, is used for gentle handling of delicate, irregular, or varied parts in applications like machine tending, intralogistics, pick-and-place, and assembly. Its granulate-filled cushion conforms to different surface shapes without causing damage, making it ideal for high-mix production lines where frequent product changes occur.
Yes, the FORMHAND Soft Gripper Pneumatic, 2 kg is cobot-ready and meets ISO/TS 15066 collaborative robot safety requirements, enabling direct worker interaction in compliant cells. It includes a complete bundle with mounting modules for direct robot installation.
The FORMHAND Soft Gripper Pneumatic, 2 kg has a maximum payload capacity of 2 kg with an 8 cm gripper diameter. Its lightweight design at 0.45 kg also reduces tooling changeover time compared to rigid grippers.
The complete bundle includes the FORMHAND Module (model FHM080), hose module, suction module, and ejector operation for direct mounting to collaborative robots. Individual modules are also available separately if needed.
A soft gripper like the FORMHAND adapts automatically to varied part shapes without tooling changes, reducing setup time and enabling cost-effective production of multiple products. Its gentle conforming surface also protects delicate or irregular parts from damage during handling.

Soft Pneumatic Gripper vs. Rigid or Task-Specific Grippers:

The FORMHAND Soft Gripper Pneumatic is a flexible, form-fitting alternative to rigid grippers and fixed-jaw designs. Choose it when you need one tool to handle many part shapes and surfaces without tooling changeover, or when parts are delicate enough to risk damage from hard jaws.

  • For delicate or irregular parts up to 2 kg, the granulate-filled cushion conforms to any surface shape, eliminating damage and reducing scrap on fragile workpieces.
  • On high-mix production lines with frequent part changes, the lightweight 0.45 kg design and adaptive jaw geometry cut changeover time versus rigid task-specific grippers.
  • In collaborative cells where workers enter the workspace, ISO/TS 15066 compliance and soft contact enable safe cobot integration without rigid guards.
  • For machine tending and intralogistics on cobots, the complete modular bundle (hose, suction, ejector included) mounts directly with minimal setup overhead.
