Grabit uses electroadhesion for good grip on objects
Grabit is a company that focuses on the use of electroadhesion for robotic pickup; they may have the key for better times in manufacturing, showing through videos how their product can improve productivity in manufacturing and logistics sectors. Electroadhesion is a technology that applies to robotic parts handling, parts fixturing, warehouse logistics and conveying systems. Their technology is out to demonstrate that reliable grasping can occur with no need for part-specific grippers and no need for bulky, energy-intensive vacuum technology or mechanical grippers. There is also no need for vacuum hoses and pumps. The technology signifies energy savings. Grabit products operate at very low energy levels and these are also quiet operations. A thin, LED backlight, integrated in the gripper, provides uniform lighting for vision inspection and vision-guided part registration.
