Gripper fingers

Gripper fingers - Efficient component handling for automated production systems

Gripper fingers are function-critical components in automated gripper systems. They are used for the targeted picking, positioning and transportation of components - often in high-frequency applications with minimal tolerance play. The end contours of the gripper fingers are precisely adapted to the object to be gripped in order to enable damage-free and reliable handling.

They are indispensable in electronics production, the semiconductor and automotive industries. The material properties are particularly crucial for small, sensitive or conductive parts: the materials must be electrically insulating, magnetically neutral, resistant to temperature and chemicals and mechanically wear-resistant.

DOCERAM develops high-performance gripper fingers made of materials such as Cerazur, DOGLAS, cosTherm or ELTIMID that meet these requirements. These products are distributed by Megatron - your partner for technical precision solutions in automation.
