One gripper. Many possibilities.

Different workpieces. One gripper.

Electric grippers

Dealing with different workpieces in a single process poses challenges for automation systems. Often, multiple grippers must be used, or processes must undergo time-consuming retooling. As the diversity of variants increases, so do the complexity, the effort required for coordination, and set-up times in automated material handling.

One gripper for a wide variety of workpieces.

More flexibility. Future-proof.

SCHUNK's electric grippers can be flexibly adapted to changing requirements and enable the handling of multiple variants of a workpiece family using just one gripper.

Less retooling effort:
One gripper, rather than multiple specialized solutions, reduces changeover and set-up procedures.
Greater adaptability:
Gripping force, position, speed, and gripping modes can be adapted to suit different workpieces.
Future-proof automation:
Flexible gripping systems lay the foundation for handling varying products, batch sizes, and manufacturing requirements.
