What is a soft gripper and how does it work?

A soft gripper uses compliant silicone fingers actuated by pneumatic pressure to gently handle delicate items without damage. The SoftGripping Engineering Kit model SG.AP.B6.C3 operates at 2-5 bar pressure with response times under 200 ms, delivering gripping force between 10-40 N depending on your application.

What are soft robots used for?

Soft robots excel at handling fragile foods, medical items, and delicate packaging in automation lines where rigid grippers would cause damage. The SoftGripping Engineering Kit achieves cycle times under 2 seconds for pick-and-place, food automation, and packaging applications with frequent product changeover.

What robot brands is the SG.AP.B6.C3 compatible with?

The SoftGripping Engineering Kit mounts to ISO-compatible robot flanges, making it compatible with Universal Robots, ABB, KUKA, FANUC, and other major robot brands using standard ISO interfaces.

How long does it take to set up the SoftGripping Engineering Kit?

Setup takes under 30 minutes with the included pneumatic lines and tools. The kit features quick-change hardware and configurable 1-6 finger setups, so you can customize gripping solutions without extensive mechanical work.

What is the temperature operating range for this soft gripper?

The SoftGripping Engineering Kit operates reliably between -10°C and +60°C. The food-grade silicone fingers also resist chemicals, making them suitable for regulated food and medical environments.

How durable is the SoftGripping Engineering Kit over time?

Each finger is rated for up to 1 million cycles, and the 1 kg gripper weighs little enough for rapid reconfiguration as products change. The modular design lets you replace individual fingers rather than the entire assembly.

Soft gripper kit vs. rigid or vacuum grippers for delicate handling:

The SoftGripping Engineering Kit is a modular pneumatic soft gripper designed for gentle, configurable automation. Choose it over rigid parallel grippers or vacuum systems when you need compliant fingering for fragile items, fast cycle times, and the flexibility to adapt grip configuration without tool changeover.

For fragile foods, medical items, or delicate packaging on lines under 2-second cycles, the compliant silicone fingers reduce damage compared to rigid grippers.
When product types change frequently, configure 1 to 6 fingers with quick-change hardware and swap setups in under 30 minutes without reprogramming.
For tight collaborative cells, the 1 kg weight and 10-40 N gripping force keep payload free for tools and sensors on lightweight robots.
In temperature-controlled food or pharmaceutical lines running -10°C to +60°C, food-grade silicone resists chemicals and tolerates the environment; rated to 1 million cycles per finger for high-volume production.
If pneumatic lines are already installed, the 2-5 bar operating pressure and under-200 ms response time integrate into existing automation without compressor upgrades.
