Gripper

Robot gripper reference — jaw types, force calculation, pneumatic vs electric, and end-effector selection. Use when designing gripping systems, selecting actuators, or sizing grippers for robotic applications.

Gripper — Robot Gripper Reference

Quick-reference skill for gripper types, force calculations, actuator selection, and end-effector design.

When to Use

• Selecting a gripper type for a robot application
• Calculating required gripping force for a payload
• Choosing between pneumatic, electric, and vacuum grippers
• Designing custom jaw geometry for specific parts
• Troubleshooting grip failures in production
