Soft gripper versus rigid parallel gripper: when to choose this one:

Choose a soft gripper for delicate or food-contact applications where rigid jaws risk damage or contamination. This lightweight 1.5 N model suits collaborative robots and compact cells where payload is limited and gentle handling is mandatory.

For bakery items, fresh produce, or soft packaging, the compliant food-grade fingers grip without bruising or crushing, unlike hard-jaw alternatives.
On co-bot arms with tight payload budgets, the 140 g weight leaves room for heavier tools or larger product batches compared to industrial-rated rigid grippers.
In high-hygiene food lines, CE and FDA certification for direct consumable contact eliminates the need for protective liners or frequent cleaning protocols required by standard grippers.
For delicate component assembly (electronics, optics, cosmetics), the adaptive soft fingers self-conform to irregular shapes, reducing shattered breakage and scrap versus pick-and-place with fixed jaws.
IO-Link and Modbus TCP integration enable plug-and-play setup on existing collaborative robot fleets without custom control coding or reconfiguration.
