Gripper Systems for Material Handling in Mechanical Engineering

Particularly in large production plants and production chains, it is imperative to deal with handling techniques for materials and workpieces. Due to the weight alone, it is e.g. almost impossible to move materials manually. This is where material handling starts: Gripper systems or conveyor belts, for example, facilitate the movement and control of materials and increase efficiency. In the following, we will take a closer look at various gripper systems and how they are utilized.
