Target Applications

These applications can be done easily with this gripper because of all its specifications. In fact at only 850 g and with a 5 kg recommanded payload, it has a really good weight to payload ratio. This means you don't have to handicap your robot with a massive gripper in order to lift (relatively) heavy parts. Also with a grip force from 60 to 200 N, a lot of different applications can be accomplished.
