Collaborative robots operate within strict payload and mounting constraints. Pneumatic gripper installations that rely on external valves, sensors, and wiring add weight, increase footprint, and complicate routing along compact cobot arms. To address these constraints, Festo has introduced the HPPH two-finger pneumatic parallel gripper, a compact, lightweight design that integrates control, sensing, and collaborative safety […]
The continuous drive for greater efficiency and adaptability in manufacturing, coupled with the increasing adoption of collaborative robots, creates demand for more integrated and compact peripheral components.
This development addresses key limitations in cobot integration, making them more versatile and easier to deploy in various industrial settings, accelerating factory automation.
Cobot gripper installations can now be more compact, lightweight, and simpler, reducing complexity and increasing the range of applications for collaborative robotics.
