FIPA adds FormHand universal gripper through strategic partnership
FIPA entered a strategic partnership with FormHand to add a universal gripping-pad solution to its material-handling portfolio.
Evidence notes
- FIPA combined its FIPALIFTpro tube lifter with a FormHand gripping pad for irregular and flexible goods.
- The integrated system safely handled loads up to 25 kilograms, including shrink-wrapped PET bottles where conventional suction cups failed.
- The partnership brought FormHand's shape-adaptive gripping technology into FIPA's commercial handling portfolio.
Company context
FormHand develops shape-adaptive gripping pads that conform to objects with different geometry, surface and rigidity. Based in Braunschweig, its granulate-filled technology gives industrial robots and handling systems a flexible alternative to dedicated tooling for logistics, manufacturing and mixed-part movement.
