The SoftGripping Centric Gorilla Finger Actuator is a pneumatically driven soft gripper that provides compliant handling of sensitive or irregularly shaped workpieces.
Weighing 1.2 kg, this flexible actuator adapts to object contours without requiring rigid fixturing or complex programming, making it suitable for applications where conventional hard grippers may damage parts or fail to achieve secure contact.
This actuator mounts directly to end-of-arm tooling setups without dedicated mounting bases, offering flexibility in integrator-designed configurations.
Custom bases fabricated from aluminum or bent plate can be specified to match particular installation requirements.
The gripper supports IO-Link and Modbus TCP communication protocols for integration into networked automation systems.
The pneumatic propulsion method enables straightforward control using standard compressed air supplies common in manufacturing environments.
This soft gripper is appropriate for prototyping phases, applications with variable part geometries, or production lines handling items that require gentle contact pressure to prevent surface marking or deformation.
