About Mecagrip
Mecagrip is a French engineering firm and system integrator for robot gripping systems (EOAT) and special machines at the press foot in plastics processing. The company designs custom robot end-of-arm tools – from simple grippers with profile rails or a fixed chassis to complex systems for insert placement, assembly, and hinge forming – and manufactures them in its own workshop with function tests and inspections. Further services include programming and commissioning of Sepro robots, integration of complete robotic cells, ultrasonic technology for inserting and welding, labeling systems, handling and sorting, as well as retrofit and optimization of existing machines including HMI and automation with Siemens and Schneider components. In addition, as an official partner in France, Mecagrip distributes spare parts from the ASS Maschinenbau GmbH brand with over 2,000 references. The industries served include automotive, medical technology, cosmetics, industry, luxury goods, and packaging.
