Special Grippers

Special grippers are used in applications in which regular suction cups cannot be used. Special grippers are used to handle wafers, films, paper, fragile workpieces or textile fiber composites. They serve as a connection element between the workpiece and the handling system just like the suction cup.

Schmalz separates special grippers into the following series:

Our selection aid includes information that should be observed when selecting the right special gripper.

Schmalz Special Grippers
