Gripper systems at haprotec – precision and efficiency in automation

Gripper systems play a crucial role in modern industry, as they form the link between robots and workpieces. haprotec GmbH develops customised gripper solutions that are specifically tailored to the individual requirements of its customers. Whether for medical technology, e-mobility or classic industrial applications, haprotec offers innovative and powerful gripping systems that enable efficient, precise and gentle handling of a wide variety of components.

​Individually developed grippers for every application

The choice of the right gripper depends on many factors, including the shape, material, weight and sensitivity of the component. Haprotec offers a wide range of customised gripping systems that are optimised for a wide variety of applications.

​Mechanical grippers – versatile and robust

Mechanical grippers use movable fingers or jaws to securely grip components. They are particularly suitable for:
 

• Solid workpieces with defined geometry

• Precise pick-and-place tasks

• High holding forces for heavy components

These grippers are used, for example, in the automotive industry or for handling metal and plastic parts.

​

Vacuum grippers – perfect for sensitive surfaces

Vacuum grippers create a vacuum to hold workpieces securely without applying mechanical stress. They are ideal for:
 

• Glass, plastic or thin metal sheets

• Sensitive products that must not be deformed

• Fast and flexible handling of flat objects

Haprotec uses vacuum grippers in the electronics industry and packaging technology, among other areas, to transport components with particular care.


Magnetic grippers – Safe handling of metal parts

Magnetic grippers use strong magnetic fields to hold metal workpieces securely. They are particularly advantageous for:
 

• Metallic components with irregular surfaces

• Fast gripping and placing of steel or aluminium components

• Applications requiring high holding forces with low energy consumption

This technology is frequently used in sheet metal processing, the automotive industry and mechanical engineering.

Flexible changing systems for maximum efficiency
One of haprotec's most innovative solutions is the ability to combine gripper systems with automatic changin Systems. This allows robots to switch between different grippers independently, depending on the task at hand. This offers the following advantages:

• Greater flexibility in production

• Less changeover time and greater efficiency

• Versatile applications with just one robot system

This technology enables a significant increase in productivity, especially in highly dynamic manufacturing processes.

Maximum precision through sensor integration

To ensure even more accurate component handling, haprotec integrates modern sensor and vision systems into its gripper solutions. These systems enable:
 

• Precise positioning through camera systems

• Detection of tolerances and component deviations

• Automatic adjustment of gripping force for sensitive components

​
These technologies are primarily used in medical technology, semiconductor manufacturing and e-mobility.
