Weiss Robotics GRIPKIT LS
The Weiss Robotics GRIPKIT LS is an intelligent, servo-electric gripping solution designed specifically for laboratory and life science automation. With a generous stroke of 50 mm and a finely adjustable gripping force ranging from 6 to 40 N, it enables the high-precision and safe handling of sensitive samples. Thanks to its compact design and direct connection to the cobot’s tool I/O port, the system can be easily integrated into existing laboratory processes without the need for cumbersome external cabling. The polished, control-side sealed housing also meets the highest standards for hygiene and ease of cleaning in sensitive work environments.
Description
With the GRIPKIT LS, Weiss Robotics is expanding its portfolio to include a high-end mechatronic gripping module for modern laboratory automation. At the heart of this compact servo gripper is the innovative FLEXGRIP technology: It ensures that both the position of the gripping jaws and the applied force can be precisely adjusted to the specific sample and container size. This effectively eliminates the risk of damage to fragile samples or glass vials. The mechanical design is specifically tailored for sterile and high-cleanliness applications. The polished housing has minimal edges where dirt can accumulate, is easy to disinfect, and withstands the demanding conditions of the life sciences industry over the long term. With a net weight of just 480 g, the gripper places gripper load on the robot but can move objects weighing up to 1.5 kg with absolute reliability through form-fit gripping. Thanks to native support from leading cobot manufacturers—such as Universal Robots, Fanuc CRX, and Neura Robotics—implementation is a breeze. The GRIPKIT LS is thus the ideal plug-and-play solution for automated pipetting, sample sorting, or loading analytical instruments.
