The term gripper arm is particularly at home in the fields of automation, industry and Factory 4.0 as well as robots. A gripper arm is a mechanical arm that works in a similar way to a human arm. It can pick things up, move them and place them somewhere else - either automatically or by remote control.
Gripper arms are often used in factories, for example in the manufacture of cars. There, the gripper arm picks up heavy car parts and places them in exactly the right position for further assembly. This saves time and energy and ensures that the work is carried out precisely and safely.
A gripper arm usually consists of several movable joints as well as a "hand" or "gripper", which can be shaped differently depending on what it is supposed to grip. With modern technology, gripper arms can now even move very small, light or delicate objects with precision. As a result, they also play an important role in 3D printing products or in the food industry.
To summarise: A gripper arm takes on tasks wherever precision, speed and gentle handling are required.
