FIPA adds gripper systems and pneumatic cutting tools
FIPA expanded beyond vacuum components into assembled gripper systems and pneumatic cutting tools.
Evidence notes
- FIPA records the addition of gripper systems and pneumatic air nippers in 2000.
- The move extended the business from discrete vacuum components into more complete robot end-of-arm solutions.
- That broader tooling scope laid the groundwork for later modular gripper assembly and application-engineering services.
Company context
