Vacuum grippers are used in industry for handling various objects, especially when fast and secure gripping is required without mechanical clamping forces. They operate by creating a vacuum, forming a suction cup or a sealing surface that adheres to the object. Typical applications include robotics, packaging, and automated production lines, where they handle glass, metal, plastic, or porous materials. Vacuum grippers provide a gentle and flexible gripping method, reducing the risk of damage to the objects and enabling efficient handling of items of different sizes and shapes.
