Needle gripper

Needle grippers are specialized gripping systems primarily used for handling textiles, nonwovens, foams, or porous materials. They work with fine needles that push into the material upon contact, thus enabling a secure grip – even with difficult-to-grasp, soft, or irregular objects. In robotics, needle grippers score points for their adaptability and fast cycle times. They are frequently used in automated processes in the clothing, automotive, and recycling industries.
