Parallel grippers are mechanical devices used in robotics and automation to grasp and manipulate objects. They consist of two parallel jaws that move simultaneously to open and close, allowing for a secure grip on various shapes and sizes. These grippers are commonly used in applications such as assembly, packaging, and material handling. The design of parallel grippers enables them to maintain a consistent grip force, making them suitable for delicate items as well as heavier objects. They can be operated using pneumatic, electric, or hydraulic systems, providing flexibility in different industrial settings. Robotics and automation industries frequently utilize parallel grippers for efficient and precise handling.
