Choosing a gripper for your cobot can seem like a daunting task, especially with so many different types of grippers in robotics and so much overlapping terminology. There are many different types of grippers available to use with UR cobots. Some grippers' designs are just like human hands, complete with five fingers, but this isn't always the case. There are grippers with two and three fingers, grippers shaped like claws, mechanical gripper types, grippers with large suction cups and even grippers that look like air-filled bags. With so many to choose from, it can be difficult to know which robot gripper types are best suited to which applications. Machine tending is a repetitive task that’s ideally suited to automation using collaborative robots. Instead of assigning workers to these manual tasks, consider using cobots fitted with grippers that can handle parts and take over machine operations. Not only will this produce more consistent results, but it will free your workers to work on higher value tasks better suited to human skillsets, such as, for example, overseeing your cobot’s programming and performance.

There are several factors to keep in mind when choosing a gripper, but the most important is to be led by the specific application you have in mind. Universal Robots makes this easy for you through the UR+ ecosystem, which provides a wide range of grippers specifically designed to handle the most common manufacturing tasks. Nevertheless, there are still some important questions to ask when selecting a gripper for your cobot: Compressed air-type grippers produce between four and ten times more power than their electromechanical counterparts, which makes them a good fit for lifting heavy weights. However, electromechanical-driven vacuum grippers shine in applications requiring a high degree of mobility. Thern Captain Series 5FT25 (Up to 1000 kg) Stationary Lifting Davit Cranes with Manual or Electric Winch A fascinating robot gripper that uses granular materials – such as coffee beans or plastic beads – encased in a soft outer shell to grip and hold the item. A jamming robot gripper can adjust to different sizes and shapes, making it a versatile choice that's ideally suited for irregular item production. Jamming grippers work by gently touching the item, then air pressure is applied, causing the gripper's internal grains to “jam”, creating a secure grip. When the air is released, the granular material becomes “unjammed” again, dropping the item.These are heavy-duty grippers that apply major force required for large or heavy items. Hydraulic grippers are designed with pistons, meaning they can be higher-maintenance than other gripper varieties. Pros of pneumatic grippers include low cost, large grip force range, ability to operate in tight spaces and fast response times. However, pneumatic grippers are best suited to handling single part types, so they might not be a great fit if your facility produces a lot of low volume/high mix items. This gripper type also provides limited force and position control and requires compressed air to function. Example use: Medium sized items that need more grip to stay in place such as glass topped side tables With TAWI Grip-it is easy to grip big and heavy sheets. This smart tool allows anyone to handle sheets up to 500 kilos with minimal effort. There is no need to be big or strong, everyone can lift, resulting in an equal and efficient business with a flexible workforce. The number of suction cups is adapted for your load so that the tool is always ideal for your lifting needs. The gripper is easily mounted in a hoist, for safe and efficient lifting.

However, for general purposes, grippers can be divided into 5 or 6main types, with each type being distinguished by the methods used to power and/or control the gripper itself. What certifications should the gripper come with (e.g. food safe, IP7 compatability and so on.) What payload will the gripper need?The main advantage of hydraulic grippers is their excellent gripping power, but with that power come several disadvantages, including the added complexity of handling oil, a pump, and a reservoir. Consequently, hydraulic grippers tend to be higher maintenance than other gripper types and they are also unsuitable for most cleanroom and many medical applications. Payload refers to the entire weight the robot arm is able to support, including the gripper. Just as your arm and hand can only lift certain weights at the gym, a robot can only handle so much weight without faltering. So, when choosing your robot hand, you must consider the payload capabilities of the robotic arm and the gripper itself. Your choice of gripper should be guided primarily by the application you have in mind for your automation. Will it be handling small batch products? Does the gripper need to have strength or a delicate touch? Does the gripper have to be certified food safe? We guarantee that our Glass Grippers will securely grip the glass pane. The operator will be able to work at a normal tempo without gripper losing its grip, and without needing to carry the weight of the glass by themselves. Compared to other lifting tools on the market, our Glass Gripper is a very energy-efficient tool, only consuming energy when it is in use. A pneumatic gripper uses compressed air and pistons to operate its 'jaws' (also known as 'fingers'). Most commonly found in 2-finger and 3-finger configurations, pneumatic grippers are versatile tools that can be used in a wide range of applications.
