What is a robot gripper?

A robot gripper is an end effector that picks, holds, and places objects during automated tasks. The SoftGripping Three Finger Centric Soft Gripper uses three flexible fingers that conform gently to objects, making it ideal for handling delicate items in food processing, packaging, and cleanroom applications.

What are grippers used for?

Grippers are used to manipulate, transfer, and hold objects in robotic automation systems. This soft gripper specifically handles fragile cylinders and delicate products from 5 mm to 120 mm in diameter without bruising or crushing them, making it suitable for eggs, fruits, and containerized items.

Can the SG.IN.C.F3.I60.A30.D0.R50 work with collaborative robots?

Yes, the SoftGripping Three Finger Centric Soft Gripper integrates with collaborative robots and includes IO-Link and Modbus TCP control interfaces for easy deployment. It weighs only 0.19 kg and operates on pneumatic actuation.

What is the maximum payload of this soft gripper?

The SoftGripping Three Finger Centric Soft Gripper has a maximum payload of 450 g. It handles item diameters from 5 mm to 120 mm across food, packaging, and cleanroom operations.

Is this gripper food safe?

Yes, the gripper is constructed from FDA-approved food-grade silicone rubber with a hygienic design that eliminates sharp edges and simplifies cleaning between tasks. It meets food safety requirements for handling delicate food products.

Comparisons:

Compared to hard grippers, soft grippers like this model handle irregular shapes and fragile items without bruising or crushing.
Three-finger centric design offers more secure adaptation around round or cylindrical objects than two-finger alternatives.
SoftGripping's FDA-compliant silicone distinguishes it from general-purpose soft grippers for food use.

Buyer Questions Answered:

What is a soft gripper used for? Soft grippers are used to pick, hold, and place delicate or irregularly shaped objects where rigid metal grippers may damage the product.
How do soft grippers differ from hard grippers? Soft grippers use flexible materials for adaptive holding, reducing risk of abrasion or breakage, whereas hard grippers use rigid jaws that may require precise alignment and more force.
How much does the gripper weigh? The assembly weights 0.19 kg.

Soft Gripper vs. Hard Gripper: When to Choose This Model:

The SoftGripping Three Finger Centric Soft Gripper uses flexible fingers and pneumatic actuation to handle fragile and irregularly shaped items, whereas traditional hard grippers rely on rigid metal jaws that require precise alignment and can damage delicate products. Choose this soft gripper for applications where protecting the item matters as much as holding it.

For eggs, berries, or soft fruits in food lines, the three adaptive fingers conform without bruising, where rigid jaws would crush.
On cylindrical containers between 5 mm and 120 mm diameter, the centric three-finger design grips securely without rotating or slipping, compared to parallel two-finger designs.
In cleanrooms and food facilities, FDA-approved silicone construction and hygienic design with no sharp edges eliminate contamination risk and reduce cleaning time between batches.
On collaborative robot cells with tight payloads, the 0.19 kg gripper weight leaves more capacity for tooling or sensors than heavier alternatives.
For packaging lines handling up to 450 g of fragile goods, the pneumatic actuation allows variable pressure control to match product sensitivity.
