The SoftGripping Engineering Kit (SG.AP.B6) is a modular system built around six adaptable silicone actuator fingers that mount to included slotted plates, enabling user-configured gripper geometries for handling fragile and irregular components.
At 1 kg total weight, the kit delivers gentle yet stable pneumatic gripping suited to delicate workpieces.
The slot-plate architecture allows rapid repositioning of individual fingers to match part geometry and optimize grip points without tooling changes.
The kit ships with ISO-compatible robot flanges, pneumatic lines, adjustment tools, and mounting hardware for direct integration into automated cells.
The quick-adjust mechanism supports fast iteration during prototyping and enables operators to reconfigure grippers in response to product changeovers.
This design is particularly effective in high-speed pick-and-place operations where cycle time and product variety demand flexible tooling.
Typical applications include food automation tasks such as handling strawberries, apples, figs, mandarins, and eggs, as well as packaging lines and medical product assembly where silicone contact surfaces prevent damage to sensitive items.
The modular construction accommodates a range of part shapes and sizes within food processing, packaging, and general fragile-goods handling environments.
