Applied Robotics’ Flexible Smart GripperTM (FSG) now allows for intelligent handling of delicate objects of varying shapes and sizes.
The all-new Flexible Smart GripperTM is a fully electrically actuated gripper with flexible, soft bodied fingers for handling objects of varying size, shape, and weight.
The FSG comes in two-finger (FSG-2) and four-finger (FSG-4) configurations, ideal for Food and Retail Order Fulfillment, and are well-suited for collaborative robotic applications.
With a simple user interface that can be accessed with any Wi-Fi-enabled device, the user can easily program open/close finger positions as well as force control thresholds for precise and dependable handling of delicate objects.
The FSG's patented, FDA-compliant silicone fingers, provide assured grasping of objects with the ability to rotate and conform in the actuating direction, while remaining rigid in the other degrees of freedom.
"The Flexible Smart Gripper solved all of the complex challenges found in handling delicate and randomly shaped objects commonly found in food processing and retail order fulfillment by combining the gentle handling of objects with the intelligence and feedback of an electricaly operated gripper."
