The performance of a robot plant can especially be influenced by the choice of the appropriate gripper.The single-pick gripper is usually the right choice for low performance and unwieldy packages. The multi-pick gripper, which is able to handle two or more packages at a time, is more suitable for a palletising performance of over 500 packages per hour.Multifunctional grippers are applied, if there is a need for additional functions, like interlayer discharge or measuring and inspection operations, besides the original pick-and-place task.
