GorillaFinger Engineering Kit

With the GorillaFinger Engineering Kit you can find your perfect gripper for high-speed automation. The kit consists of a total of 5 SoftActuator fingers, which can be freely mounted on the different plates supplied. Thus, any configuration is possible and you can adapt the gripper exactly to your object. The robot flange also offers holes for all common ISO standards and can be easily mounted with the included tool. The kit comes in a case with corresponding accessories and pneumatic lines and connections.

The fingers are fixed to the oblong hole plates by means of adapters and can be moved along the plate at any time by loosening the screws to find the optimum distance and orientation. 5 fingers are more than enough to grip all common objects. Above all, however, the fingers are suitable for large and heavy foodstuffs. This includes sack and net goods such as potato sacks, carrot sacks and apple sacks. But also melons and heads of lettuce are securely gripped by the GorillaFingers and can be handled even at high speeds.

SoftActuators - The key to automation

We supply the SoftActuators, you choose the shape of your base. Whether you prefer aluminum construction profiles or curved plates, they are manufactured to fit. Our proven pneumatically driven fingers are made of FDA-approved silicone rubber with a service life of more than 10 million cycles. You can mount them on any EOAT setup without the need for a special base. Our SoftActuators are hygienically designed and easy to clean.

GorillaFinger SoftActuator - For mesh, large and heavy objects

Our GorillaFingers are ideal for handling netted goods, such as 2.5 kg bags of: Potatoes, carrots or even apples. Furthermore, the large and wide fingers allow you to gently grip pasta due to their large surface area. Here are a few examples:

Apple bag	Potato bag

Use cases:

• For engineers who want to build their own EOAT.
• For a large variety of objects
• For easy adaptation when gripping objects change
• In setups for easy prototyping
• For determining the optimal dimensions of a stationary system

If you need something special, like 4 or more fingers or actuators with larger or smaller finger spacing, just contact us, we will build it for you within 2 weeks.

Comparison to the HumanFinger SoftActuator

Compared to our smaller finger size, the GorillaFingers are for larger and heavier objects. In addition to net goods, cabbages, bottles and melons are good targets for this finger shape.
