For automation tasks involving flat, sealed workpieces, the Vacuum Area Gripping System FEL offers a lightweight and cost-effective solution. Designed for efficient handling of uniform surfaces, the FEL is ideal for picking items such as delicate electronic components like laptop, tablet, mobile, small display screens and flat-glass elements. Its compact design integrates vacuum generation directly within the unit, eliminating the need for external ejectors and simplifying installation—especially in space-constrained robotic arms or gantry systems. The gripper's rigid housing and replaceable foam sealing pad ensure consistent suction and reliable surface contact without damaging sensitive parts. As a result, the FEL is being used in industries ranging from electronics assembly and packaging to intralogistics and light industrial automation, where ease of integration, cycle-time stability, and part safety are critical.

SLG Lightweight Gripper can be tailor-made to match the shape, spacing, and handling needs of the specific parts being moved.

Meanwhile, the SLG Lightweight Gripper is ideal for customized handling of small components using cobots or compact robotic arms. Thanks to additive manufacturing, the SLG can be tailor-made to match the shape, spacing, and handling needs of the specific parts being moved. This makes it particularly suitable for electronics, plastics, cosmetics, and consumer goods industries, where product shapes vary frequently. Despite being extremely lightweight, the SLG delivers reliable holding force and supports high dynamic movements. Its modular, ready-to-connect design speeds up integration, allowing automation experts to quickly deploy and redeploy it across different workstations without sacrificing performance or precision.

What ties all these gripping systems together is the tangible benefit they offer to Indian manufacturers. With Schmalz grippers, users see faster cycle times, fewer product defects and increased throughput—whether handling 50-gram vials or 50-kg component layers. Their modular and lightweight designs mean easier integration into existing lines, while the robust construction ensures long service life and minimal downtime. More importantly, these systems reduce physical strain on human operators by automating repetitive, heavy, or awkward manual handling tasks—supporting a safer and more productive shop floor.

In a market that demands speed, agility, and reliability, Schmalz gripping systems are enabling the next generation of Indian automation—built on smarter gripping, not just smarter robots.
