Materials and Applications
Silicone (food-grade)
Food-grade silicone of the exchangeable gripping tools of the Soft Gripper for sensitive and irregular products.
Metal
Metal components and sheet metal are handled with magnetic (MG10) and vacuum grippers and machined for sanding applications.
Plastic
Plastic parts are handled or machined in material handling, packing and finishing applications.
Wood
Wood components, e.g. plantation shutters, are automatically sanded with the Sander.
Stone
Stone surfaces can be machined with the electric orbital sander.
