Vacuum suction is a core solution for "flexible grasping" in industrial automation with four core advantages: non-damaging grasping, adaptability to multi-material/irregular workpieces, clean and environmental protection, and flexible operation. It can be adapted to different industry characteristics of workpieces (thin/thick, precision/coarse, sanitary/standard).
