      We have four vacuum grippers. Three of them use an Air Supply and the last one is using a vacuum generator. Robotiq Vacuum Grippers can handle a wide range of applications and are ideal for picking up uneven and even surfaces made of different materials such as cardboard, glass, sheet metal (dry), and plastic. Because of the customizable bracket and unique air nodes, Robotiq Vacuum Grippers provide manufacturers full control over their gripper to make sure it’s a perfect fit for their applications.
