Selection framework
How to choose
Begin with the workpiece and cycle, then verify performance, interfaces, environment, and maintenance needs against the family data.
Account for leakage
Open cells, porous board, textiles, and incomplete coverage favor high-flow or matrix gripster designs.
Control tool mass
Include the gripster, valves, fittings, frame, and payload in robot wrist and acceleration calculations.
Design the interface
Confirm mounting pattern, vacuum source, zones, sensing, compliance, and cable or hose routing before release.

Vacuum Area Gripsters
A sealed foam or lip face over a plenum. Anything covering the face is held, so mixed formats need no changeover and no teaching.
