Robot Grippers

Robot grippers, also called end effectors, are devices attached to the end of a robotic arm. They function as the robot's "hand", enabling it to interact with and manipulate objects in its environment. These robot parts can perform various tasks, such as picking, holding, and releasing objects, making them crucial for automation processes across different industries. A robot gripper significantly enhances the capabilities of robotic systems with robust precision and control. Our range of robot grippers includes multiple robot parts designed for use with various robots, including Niryo Ned 2, Niryo One, and Rotary gripper modules EHMD.

Common Types of Robot Grippers:

Robot grippers come in the following main types:

• Mechanical Grippers – These grippers use fingers or jaws to grasp objects physically and are known for their robustness and reliability in handling various materials.
• Electric Grippers – An electric robot gripper is powered by electric motors, providing precise control over gripping force and speed. Electric models are highly versatile and easily integrate into other electronic systems, making them suitable for multiple applications.
• Magnetic Grippers – Magnetic grippers use magnets to hold ferrous objects. They are instrumental in handling metal parts and can be quickly engaged and disengaged. A magnetic robot gripper is highly efficient for various applications, including manufacturing processes.
• Pneumatic Grippers – Pneumatic grippers operate using compressed air to open and close their jaws and are known for their strong gripping force. 
• Hydraulic Grippers – Hydraulic grippers use pressurised fluid to generate force, offering higher gripping power than pneumatic or mechanical grippers. They are suitable for heavy-duty applications where high force and precise control are essential.
• Adhesive Grippers – Adhesive grippers employ sticky materials to pick up and hold objects. They are helpful in handling delicate or irregularly shaped items that traditional gripping methods might damage.

Typical Applications of Robot Grippers:

Robot grippers find versatile applications across various sectors, including: 

• Manufacturing
• Assembly
