Hand-In-Hand Gripper

When SCHUNK presented the world's first certified safety gripping system around two years ago, it was to be expected that the competence leader for clamping technology and gripping systems would soon build on this success. At the time, Ralf Steinmann, Director Business Unit Gripping Systems at SCHUNK, had already defined the barrier-free collaboration of human and robot as a target photo for the production of the future. Just 24 months later, the development engineers of the innovative high-tech forging delivered on this promise with the technology studies of the SCHUNK Co-act Gripper. These have the potential to catapult the gripper into a new dimension.
