Suction grippers are devices used in robotics and automation to pick up and hold objects. They work by creating a vacuum that allows them to adhere to surfaces, making them effective for handling various items, from fragile glass to heavy boxes. These grippers are commonly found in manufacturing and packaging industries. The design of suction grippers can vary, with some featuring multiple suction cups to distribute force evenly. They are often used in conjunction with robotic arms, such as those found in industrial robots, to automate tasks like assembly and sorting, improving efficiency and precision in production lines.
