Hi, I'm Jenny Strong with Schmalz Vaccum Automation. We are here to discuss the mGrip finger gripper. It is a modular end-of-arm tool designed for food or non-food applications. In this particular display, we have a food-grade CRX cobot, and we have an mGrip end-of-arm tool picking and placing a variety of products. The mGrip is designed for irregular, delicate, and variable shape products, and we have the ability to be able to design an end-of-arm tool to be able to fit the wide variety of products that we're seeing in the marketplace.

So, in this particular application where we are handling food products, but it also can handle products that are non-food in the cosmetics industry, plastics. It can be suitable for a wide variety of industries. It is a closed pneumatic system suitable for washdown or non-washdown applications. We have a smart controller that is programming the mGrip tool and the grip strength and the opening, so for bin-picking applications, so you're going down straight into a bin, perhaps a box, a tray of some kind. The end-of-arm tool can be designed in a circular pattern. It can be designed for a parallel with end fingers as well. Feel free to visit our website at www.schmalz.com for more information.
