Flow gripper for handling sensitive components

This flow gripper from J.

Schmalz GmbH provides vacuum-based handling for components and materials that require gentle manipulation.

Weighing 0.95 kg, the gripper is engineered to work with sensitive workpieces where traditional gripping methods may cause damage or contamination.

Application areas include handling and manipulation of composite textiles, extremely thin and sensitive films, thin glass panels, and unassembled printed circuit boards.

The flow gripper design distributes gripping force across a broader surface area compared to conventional vacuum cups, making it appropriate for flexible or fragile materials that cannot tolerate point loads or surface marking.
