Schmalz takes over finger gripper from Soft Robotics Inc.
The vacuum specialist Schmalz is expanding its gripper portfolio: As of August 5, the family-owned company from Glatten will acquire the mGrip product family from the US company Soft Robotics (SRI), including all finger gripper configurations, patents and the associated know-how. Schmalz is thus expanding its market position in the food product handling sector.
Thanks to their modular design, the gripping systems are particularly flexible to use and can be easily and quickly adapted to customer requirements. They are the most solid and versatile option for the precise handling of delicate objects that are difficult to grip due to their changing shape.They are also characterized by high hygienic suitability, which is crucial for the food industry. Typical fields of application are the direct handling of baked goods, fruit and vegetables as well as meat and fish. Thanks to its high quality, the mGrip product family fits perfectly into Schmalz’s portfolio, which also stands for technologically leading products in the field of automation with vacuum.
