How to Handle Fragile Parts with Robotiq Grippers

As you may be aware, robots are well known for their high gripping force and power. But as robotic applications are expanding, not every application needs to have a strong grasping force. In fact, fragile parts need to be handled gently by the robot gripper. Many robotic grippers out there only have 2 positions (either full on or full off), however our flexible end effectors can handle a lot of different shapes and at different forces. This being said, by using our flexible industrial Robot Grippers, you can handle fragile objects without breaking them. Here are 3 aspects that need to be considered when looking into handling fragile parts with our Grippers.
