Harvestance - Customized Cobot Gripper Spotlight
In the world of footwear design, precision is key, and custom-engineered solutions are essential. GriPalm has developed a specialized cobot gripper for a Footwear Research Institute, showcasing its expertise in handling complex geometries through additive manufacturing.
This gripper features integrated vacuum channels and a form-fit design, making it highly efficient for handling shoe lasts. Crafted from Markforged Onyx®, the gripper is topology-optimized to manage various suction positions—upper, lower, and side—and ensure delicate, precise placement.
