KOGANEI's Air Picker and Air Gripper offer several advantages over conventional grippers: 1. Larger contact area provides more secure, precise, and gentle holding for fragile objects 2. Significantly lighter and capable of carrying a load 25 to 100 times their own weight 3. Multiple workpiece sizes can be handled with the same unit - no need to change gripping chuck for each product diameter

The Air Picker operates by being positioned into the opening of a bottle, cylinder, or similar object, and then pneumatically inflating its rubber tube to create a seal against the inside wall of the object, allowing it to be picked up and moved. The Air Gripper works by being placed around the outside of a workpiece and inflating its rubber sleeve to create a seal that grips like a clamp before the object is moved.
