The bionically inspired ADHESO gripper technology is based on the principle of adhesion and uses intermolecularly acting Van der Waals forces to handle various workpieces. Due to the high variability of the adhesive structures, grippers with ADHESO technology can be tailored individually to different applications.

Gripping principle
The ADHESO gripper is based on the principle of dry adhesion, which is based on intermolecular forces ("Van der Waals forces"). The pillar structure shown here maximizes contact with the surface. As a result, the gripper does not require an external power supply and can reliably grip a wide range of different materials.

Greifen
Zum Greifen eines Werkstücks muss die Säulenstruktur in direkten Oberflächenkontakt mit der Werkstückoberfläche gebracht werden. Anschließend bilden sich temporäre Dipole, wodurch eine Greifkraft aufgebaut werden kann.
Lösen
Zum Lösen des Werkstücks muss der Abstand zwischen der Säulenstruktur des ADHESO-Greifers und der Werkstückoberfläche vergrößert beziehungsweise der Oberflächenkontakt verringert werden. Dies kann durch unterschiedliche und kundenspezifisch definierbare Methoden geschehen. Die temporären Dipole verschwinden und die Greifkraft ist aufgehoben.
