Soft Robotic Gripper for Internal Picking of Plastic Camera Frames

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.
