Adaptive Grippers Introduction

Summary

The video serves as a product briefing from David, a technical trainer at Rubboutique, introducing the company’s line of adaptive robotic grippers. Designed for flexibility, reliability and seamless integration with leading collaborative‑robot (cobot) platforms, the grippers aim to handle everything from delicate components to heavier payloads while minimizing downtime.

Key insights include a detailed overview of the portfolio: the 2 F85 and 2 F‑140 models cover a wide size range with external, internal or encompassing grips; the Handy series offers a 7 kg payload, IP67 protection and a modular fingertip system (over‑molded flat, V‑grooved, four‑pin, radial, and extenders). The newer Handy C10 adds a concentric design for top‑pick cylindrical parts, a 10 kg payload and the same IP67 rating. All grippers are plug‑and‑play with major robot brands, supported by interchangeable X‑shaped and Y‑shaped brackets.

The presentation highlights practical features such as the URAP software for Universal Robots, which lets users set force and speed, run a grip‑check, and validate part dimensions in real time. A notable quote emphasizes the three‑finger adaptive gripper’s heritage—originating in 2008 for academic and R&D use—demonstrating the company’s long‑standing expertise in sophisticated gripping solutions.

For manufacturers, the adaptive gripper lineup promises rapid reconfiguration for diverse part geometries, reduced change‑over time, and enhanced uptime in machine‑tending or pick‑and‑place cells. By offering a broad accessory ecosystem and robust environmental ratings, Rubboutique positions its grippers as a strategic enabler of flexible, cost‑effective automation in the era of Industry 4.0.
