The term gripper technology comes from the fields of automation, industry and Factory 4.0 as well as robots. Gripper technology refers to all technical solutions that enable robots, machines or systems to grip, hold and move objects. Grippers act like the "hands" of robots and enable them to perform a wide variety of tasks - from packaging and sorting to the precise positioning of components.
A simple example: In a car factory, a robot uses modern gripper technology to fit car doors to the finished car bodies. The gripper automatically recognises the shape, weight and position of the door and adjusts its grip accordingly without damaging the door frame. Modern systems use sensors and sometimes artificial intelligence to work particularly sensitively and precisely.
The use of innovative gripper technology makes processes faster, safer and often cheaper. At the same time, companies can react more flexibly to new requirements, as gripper types can be replaced or adapted quickly. Gripper technology is therefore a key component of modern, automated production.
