What are grippers used for?

Grippers are used to pick, hold, and place objects in manufacturing and automation tasks. The SoftGripping Construction Kit handles delicate items across food processing, healthcare, electronics assembly, and cosmetics applications where damage-free handling is critical.

Does the SoftGripping Construction Kit, Soft Gripper, 4-Config work with my robot arm?

The SoftGripping Construction Kit uses an ISO 9409 compliant flange that mounts on nearly all industrial robot arms. It also integrates into automation systems via IO-Link and Modbus TCP protocols.

Can soft grippers handle food safely?

The SoftGripping Construction Kit uses FDA-approved silicone fingers that are food-grade and safe for direct contact in food processing, healthcare, and cosmetics environments. The gentle pneumatic actuation prevents bruising and contamination.

How quickly can I set up the soft gripper?

The SoftGripping Construction Kit features plug-and-play assembly with included tools, bases, and fasteners, so you can build and commission a gripper configuration in minutes. Four distinct arrangements are possible by reconfiguring the modular components.

What shapes can a soft gripper handle?

The SoftGripping Construction Kit includes centric and parallel base options to handle different part geometries. The centric configuration grips round and irregular shapes, while the parallel configuration suits flat or uniform objects.

Modular construction kit with six pneumatic silicone fingers, mounting bases, and ISO 9409 robot flanges to build four distinct soft gripper configurations for gentle handling of delicate or deformable objects in food, packaging, and automation applications.

SoftGripping Construction Kit is a modular pneumatic soft gripper system designed for industrial robots handling delicate or sensitive objects across food processing, healthcare, electronics, and cosmetics applications.

Kit Contents:

Six FDA-approved silicone gripping fingers with pneumatic actuation
Bases for centric and parallel gripper configurations
ISO 9409-compliant robot mounting flanges
Suction cups, spacers, fasteners, assembly tools

Features:

Supports four distinct soft gripper arrangements with modular components
Centric gripper setup offers symmetrical grasping for round or irregular shapes; parallel gripper setup is suited for flat or uniform objects
Pneumatic actuation delivers gentle contact, ideal for items easily bruised or deformed
Integration via IO-Link and Modbus TCP for automation compatibility
Plug-and-play assembly reduces commissioning time for engineers

Technical Specifications:

Number of fingers: 6
Mounting interface: ISO 9409 flange
Gripper types: centric and parallel arrangements
Finger material: FDA-approved silicone rubber

Applications:

Food processing and packaging: avoids surface damage or contamination
Healthcare and laboratory: gentle handling of medical vials, samples
Electronics assembly: safely grips sensitive components
Cosmetics: handles bottles, tubes without deformation

SoftGripping Construction Kit vs. Other Grippers:

Compared to parallel grippers, SoftGripping can conform to irregular shapes without applying excessive force
Versus vacuum cups, soft grippers require no suction-based material compatibility and reduce risk of slippage

How to Set Up Soft Grippers:

Assembly is plug-and-play with included tools, bases, and fasteners. Modular configuration enables quick adaptation to target objects and robotic interface.

What is FDA-Approved Soft Gripper Silicone?

SoftGripping Construction Kit uses food-grade silicone rubber that meets FDA standards for direct contact in food processing and healthcare environments.

Testimonial:

"The SoftGripping Construction Kit improved our packaging line by enabling damage-free handling of fruit and baked goods, outperforming traditional rigid grippers."

Soft gripper kit versus rigid parallel grippers and vacuum systems:

Choose this modular soft gripper when handling delicate or irregularly shaped items that cannot tolerate bruising, deformation, or contamination from hard metal jaws or suction cups.

For round or irregular objects like fruit, baked goods, or medical vials, the six conforming silicone fingers grip without crushing, where rigid parallel jaws would apply uneven pressure.
For food and healthcare applications requiring direct contact, FDA-approved silicone eliminates material compatibility checks needed with vacuum systems.
For tight cell integration, plug-and-play assembly with four configurable layouts (centric or parallel base options) saves commissioning time versus custom-building a gripper setup.
For automation systems already running IO-Link or Modbus TCP, direct protocol integration means no additional interface hardware.
For sensitive electronics components or cosmetic bottles, pneumatic actuation delivers gentle contact that rigid grippers and suction cups cannot match.
