However, it is not only in the food industry that FIPA customized grippers demonstrate their strengths; they can, of course, be used in many other industries. In any environment in which components must be handled quickly and safely and a solution using traditional vacuum cups does not work efficiently enough FIPA customized grippers are the right choice. Thanks to their design, which is adapted to the product, and their light weight, they provide a secure grip even with fast cycle times. The combination of gentle frictional connection and form fit guarantees a secure hold even at the highest accelerations used by high-speed gripper or FlexPicker applications. FIPA customized grippers are made from materials that comply with FDA regulations and therefore meet the strict cleaning requirements of the food, medical equipment and pharmaceutical industries. And the best part is that our innovative manufacturing process makes cost-efficient production possible, even with a batch size of one.
