Mechanical / Electric / Pneumatic Grippers | Ready Fast

End-Effectors & Tool Changers

End-effectors are tools attached to the end of a robotic arm to interact with objects. The most common types include mechanical, electric, pneumatic, and magnetic grippers, each suited for specific applications. Their selection depends on object size, fragility, required precision, and industry needs.

Two-Finger Parallel Gripper

This is one of the most common industrial grippers. With two jaws moving in parallel, it provides a simple, reliable, and cost-effective solution for handling small, flat, or symmetrical parts.

How it Works

Linear actuation moves fingers in and out. Actuation may be pneumatic (fast, strong) or electric (precise, adjustable).

Advantages
  • High repeatability, consistent grip
  • Simple and robust design, low cost
  • Easy integration with robotic arms
Applications
  • Pick-and-place in assembly and logistics
  • Machine tending (CNC, molding, inspection)
  • Packaging and palletizing
  • Laboratory automation (vials, test tubes)
  • Education & research robotics

Pneumatic Microgripper

Compact grippers actuated by compressed air, designed for precision tasks in tight spaces. They are lightweight, fast, and provide high gripping force relative to size.

How it Works

Air pressure drives a piston, opening/closing miniature jaws. Force and speed depend on air supply.

Advantages
  • Very compact and lightweight
  • High speed and repeatability
  • Strong grip relative to size
  • Simple, economical, low maintenance
Applications
  • Electronics (chips, connectors, PCB components)
  • Medical device assembly (catheters, micro-sensors)
  • Watch-making and jewelry
  • Laboratory automation and optics

Servo-Electric Adaptive Gripper

These grippers use servo motors with feedback sensors to precisely control force and position. They adapt to varied shapes and delicate objects, making them ideal for collaborative robots and precision industries.

Adaptive Features

Programmable grip force, sensor feedback, intelligent control algorithms.

Role of Sensors

Provide force feedback, position sensing, object detection, and adaptive response in real time.

Advantages
  • Gentle, precise handling of fragile items
  • Position accuracy and repeatability
  • Safe for human-robot collaboration (force limits, soft grip)
  • Easily reprogrammable for different objects
Applications
  • Cobots in assembly lines
  • Medical and pharmaceutical handling
  • Food & beverage packaging (fruits, eggs, baked goods)
  • Quality control and inspection with vision systems

Magnetic Gripper Module

Magnetic grippers use permanent magnets or electromagnets to hold ferromagnetic materials like steel or iron. With no moving parts, they are fast, reliable, and low maintenance.

Materials Handled

Steel plates, iron parts, stamped sheets, machined metal parts, heavy beams.

Types
  • Permanent Magnets: Always “on,” energy-efficient, fail-safe.
  • Electromagnets: Controlled by current, allow instant grip/release.
Applications
  • Automotive (sheet metal, body panels)
  • Metal fabrication & stamping
  • Warehousing & logistics (metal containers)
  • Recycling & scrap handling
  • CNC and machining automation
Advantages
  • Very low maintenance (no moving parts)
  • Extremely fast gripping and releasing
  • Ideal for high-speed automation lines
