Vacuum Gripper FQE
Perfect for transporting a variety of small items in large quantities! A versatile robot hand that enables handling of diverse workpieces without the need for changing stages.
The general-purpose vacuum gripper FQE is a small robotic hand that uses sponge or suction pads on its gripping surface. It is very effective for handling workpieces with gaps, workpieces that are not positioned accurately, and bulk transport of various sizes of workpieces. Since one hand can accommodate various workpieces, it eliminates the need for designing and exchanging hands tailored to specific workpieces, contributing to time savings and increased productivity. Additionally, since the FQE complies with ISO/TS 15066, it can be utilized not only in automated transport processes with industrial robots but also in collaborative work with humans using collaborative robots. The configuration of the vacuum gripper allows for the selection of suitable specifications based on individual applications, including the presence or absence of a vacuum generator, the type of gripping surface, three types of gripper sizes, and valve types.
