Streamline design with Festo's engineering tools

To help original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) and end users understand the latest developments in robotic gripping technology and to dispel gripper misconceptions, Festo application experts prepared a new e-book, All About Robotic Grippers.

The e-book explains to readers the current state of the art in gripper technologies, diverse designs, and introduces engineering tools that speed up design and acquisition. The authors also consider the future, describing what they see coming, including the productivity advances offered by digital pneumatics and the promise of adaptive grippers for intralogistics applications.

The e-book devotes a section to the time savings and cost benefits of purchasing inclusive Festo end-of-arm gripper kits for Universal Robots cobots. Weblinks to Festo’s online engineering tools, which quickly and accurately specify parallel, three-point, and angle grippers, are provided as are links to more than 30 mechanical, vacuum, electric, and adaptive grippers.
