What is a robot gripper?

A robot gripper is an end effector that attaches to a robot arm to grasp and hold objects during automation tasks. The SoftGripping Engineering Kit SG.AP.B6 is a modular pneumatic soft gripper with six silicone fingers designed to handle delicate items like food, eggs, and fragile components.

What are grippers used for?

Grippers are used in pick-and-place automation, packaging, assembly, and material handling across industries. This soft gripper is optimized for high-speed automation of fragile and irregular items in food processing, packaging, and medical assembly environments.

Will the SG.AP.B6 work with my robot arm?

The SG.AP.B6 mounts directly to robot arms via ISO-standard flange and is compatible with ABB, KUKA, Universal Robots, and Fanuc platforms that use ISO interfaces. The kit includes all mounting hardware needed for direct integration.

How much grip force does each finger provide?

Each of the six silicone actuator fingers delivers 5 N of grip force, providing gentle contact protection suitable for delicate items like strawberries, eggs, and medicines without causing damage.

Can I reconfigure the number of fingers?

Yes, the modular slot-plate architecture allows you to configure two, three, four, or six fingers with adjustable spacing to fit varied part shapes and adapt quickly to product changeovers.

What pneumatic pressure does this gripper require?

The SG.AP.B6 operates at -0.3 to 1.0 bar pneumatic pressure and comes complete with pneumatic lines, connections, and adjustment tools for setup and pressure tuning.

Soft gripper vs rigid parallel gripper or vacuum pickup:

Choose this modular soft gripper when you need gentle, adaptive handling of delicate or irregular items. Unlike rigid parallel grippers that can crush soft products, or vacuum pickups that struggle with porous materials, silicone fingers conform to part shape and apply low contact force.

For strawberries, apples, eggs, or medicine bottles, the food-contact silicone and 5 N per-finger grip prevent bruising and contamination where hard jaws or suction would fail.
On product changeovers, reconfigure from two to six fingers in the slot-plate architecture without tool swaps, cutting changeover time versus buying separate grippers.
In compact pick-and-place cells where payload matters, the 1 kg total weight leaves more arm capacity for parts and speed compared to heavier parallel or servo grippers.
At low pneumatic pressure (0.3 to 1.0 bar), gentle gripper operation suits high-speed food lines and medical assembly where cycle time and part safety both drive ROI.
