This case involves automated gripping of oil seals (Φ43 / Φ44) with a requirement of ≥30 pcs per cycle. Traditional pneumatic and rigid gripping methods caused part dropping due to demolding vacuum forces and left visible marks on the rubber surface. A soft gripper solution was introduced to provide distributed, compliant contact force. It improves stability during high-temperature demolding, prevents surface damage, reduces dropping, and supports high-speed batch handling with dual-size compatibility.

Application of soft gripper in picking hearing aid and earphone components from foam-lined trays. Addressing issues such as inconsistent manual loading, random position deviation, and parts embedded in foam inserts, the soft gripper enables stable and damage-free picking within an effective gripping depth of approximately 10 mm. It is compatible with various types of precision electronic components, improving the stability and reliability of the front-end process in automated vision inspection systems.

Learn how a soft gripper with conformal gripping blocks and foam friction pads enables stable, gentle, and efficient handling of fragile bagged biscuits in automated cartoning lines.

Discover a soft gripper solution for handling lipstick tubes with diameters from 12.3–24mm and surface temperatures of 40–60°C, ensuring stable, damage-free automation.

This article introduces an automated avocado handling solution based on soft gripper technology. It explains the key challenges in avocado picking—such as irregular shape, varying ripeness, and high sensitivity to pressure—and shows how soft grippers improve stability, reduce damage, and increase adaptability in high-speed fruit sorting and packaging lines.

Soft grippers enable precise and gentle fabric layer separation in automation processes. Unlike rigid grippers, they adapt to soft and delicate materials, ensuring single-layer picking without damage, improving efficiency in textile manufacturing, garment production, and automated material handling

A soft gripper-based automation solution designed for fragile eyeglass lens handling, enabling side-edge gripping without surface contact during tray unloading, electrostatic dust removal transfer, and reloading. With precise force control down to 0.1N and a flexible soft wing structure, it prevents scratches, contamination, and coating damage while improving efficiency in compact production layouts.
