The Modular Design System For Flexible Gripping
Newest Development
GorillaFinger SoftGrippers for large goods
We are happy to introduce you to our newest development: SoftGripping Gorillafingers. They are perfect for handling net packed as well as bagged goods like applebags, potatobags, nets of oranges or onions. Plus, handling of fruits and vegetables like melons or cauliflowers and generally goods of up to 5 kg of weight just became easier.
We have summarized the results in an article and a compact whitepaper that you can download:
