Area Gripping Systems FMP

Universal gripper with connection for external vacuum generation, for handling workpieces regardless of size, geometry, material and surface
Handling of workpieces made from various materials, such as wood (coated or rough sawn), packaging (boxes, bags or cans), metal sheets, glass, plastics, CFRP, etc.
Handling of porous workpieces, workpieces with gaps or undefined pick-up position
Mark-free handling of sensitive workpieces such as display glass
Ideal for use on robots due to its low weight

Flexible sealing elements and innovative valve technology

Sealing foam and suction pads let you adapt the gripper to the workpiece in the optimum way. The right valve technology ensures the process is safe and efficient.
Our selection aid helps you to choose the right sealing elements and valve technology.

Product Highlights
