About FormHand

FormHand develops shape-adaptive gripping pads for industrial handling. Granulate-filled pads conform around objects with different geometry, surface and rigidity, allowing one end effector to move a wider mix of parts.

The technology is integrated into robots and material-handling systems for logistics and manufacturing. Holding force, object compatibility, cycle time and cleanliness depend on pad size, vacuum supply, contact area and application.
