Area Surface Grippers

Anubis 3D specializes in advanced vacuum grippers designed for diverse industries. Our product lineup features two distinct styles: Area Surface Grippers (ASG), equipped with a large-volume plenum and multiple vacuum inlets, and Spider Grippers (SPI), engineered with strategically placed vacuum inlets to maximize gripping efficiency. Our cutting-edge end effectors deliver reliable and efficient solutions for a variety of tasks, including precise manufacturing operations such as pick-and-place, palletizing, and depalletizing, as well as delicate handling in food processing and pharmaceutical applications.

Leveraging state-of-the-art additive manufacturing techniques, our grippers are up to 30% lighter than traditional aluminum alternatives while maintaining superior durability and strength.

All our vacuum grippers integrate seamlessly with our vacuum system through a quick-change tool system, allowing for rapid and effortless tooling adjustments to boost operational flexibility and productivity.

CUSTOMIZABLE
Grippers can be adapted to specific applications, ensuring optimal performance and efficiency across various tasks.

ZONES
Grippers are available in one-zone or two-zone configurations for enhanced versatility.

LIGHTWEIGHT
Grippers are 30% lighter than most traditional option, improving portability, reducing energy use, and minimizing strain on robotic systems.

AREA SURFACE GRIPPERS

Anubis 3D’s Area Surface Grippers (ASG) provide versatile solutions for a wide range of applications, efficiently handling materials like cardboard, glass, wood, shrink-wrapped beverages, sheet metal, and plastic. Unlike traditional plenum vacuum grippers, the ASG offers customizable features such as inlet pitch and zone configuration to meet specific requirements. Available in three configurations based on lead time, the ASG adapts to diverse industrial needs:

  • Preconfigured: Ready-to-use lightweight plenums in various widths and lengths, inlet pitch arrays, suction cup sizes, and foam thickness, perfect for fast solutions.
  • Semi-Configured: Standard modules with added customization for inlet pitch arrays, zones and other components, ideal for those needing more flexibility.
  • Fully Customized: Collaborate with our design team to create a tailored solution optimized for your specific application.

This streamlined approach ensures the ASG meets diverse industrial demands efficiently. Not sure whether an area surface gripper or a suction cup array fits your product? Our vacuum gripper guide compares every type.

The ASG Preconfigured gripper is engineered with modular components for fast deployment and analysis in time-sensitive projects. Each section is joined using advanced adhesive compounds. Standard options include suction cups (20–80mm) or EPMD foam (10mm and 20mm thickness).
