Vacuum Gripper

An end-effector that uses negative air pressure to attach to object surfaces via suction cups or foam pads. Vacuum grippers excel at picking flat, smooth objects (boxes, sheets, panels) and are the fastest grasping method in logistics. They require a vacuum generator (venturi or pump) and work best on non-porous surfaces.
