Can I use this gripper without pneumatics?

Yes, the UBIROS Soft 4 Finger Gripper operates on 24 V electric power only and requires no compressed air. This simplifies integration into food and lab environments that need electric-only systems.

How much weight can the UBIROS Soft 4 Finger Gripper hold?

The gripper handles over 1,500 g payload without damaging delicate items. Its adaptive silicone fingers distribute force gently across variable shapes and sizes.

Is this gripper safe for food contact?

Yes, the UBIROS Soft 4 Finger Gripper has FDA-approved silicone contact surfaces safe for food and cosmetics handling. The water-resistant anodized aluminum housing also supports washdown environments.

How fast does the gripper close?

The gripper closes 50 mm in 50 ms, enabling quick gentle cycles suitable for high-speed automation. Closing speed and force profiles are configurable via digital inputs or ROS serial communication.

How do I control the UBIROS Soft 4 Finger Gripper?

The gripper supports multiple control methods including digital inputs or serial communication via ROS and socket protocols. Force profiles can be configured to match the requirements of your application.

Electric soft gripper vs. pneumatic or rigid grippers:

The UBIROS Soft 4 Finger Gripper is an electric-powered soft gripper designed for delicate item handling, contrasting with pneumatic grippers that require air supply and rigid grippers that risk damage to fragile parts.

For food or cosmetics on production lines, the 24 V electric operation eliminates pneumatic infrastructure and FDA-approved silicone surfaces ensure safe contact with edible or skin-contact products.
For laboratory samples or variable-sized items under 1,500 g, adaptive silicone fingers grip without crushing, where rigid jaws or vacuum systems could degrade quality.
For cycle-time-sensitive tasks, the 50 ms grasp cycle and configurable force profiles enable both speed and gentle handling in shared or compact robotic cells.
For wet or wash-down environments, water-resistant anodized aluminum housing tolerates spray and moisture where pneumatic valves may fail.
For systems with ROS or digital input control, electric operation integrates directly into existing automation platforms without air regulators or solenoid valves.
