SoftGripping System for Injection Molding: Gentle Part Removal for Flexible Plastics Production
In high-mix injection molding production, rigid metal grippers and conventional vacuum solutions quickly reach their limits — especially when handling small, delicate, or complex plastic parts.
With the SoftGripping Classic 2 Parallel, SoftGripping presents a flexible solution for gentle part removal in injection molding. Wherever uncontrolled ejection, rigid metal grippers, or vacuum solutions reach their limits, the adaptive gripper ensures controlled handling immediately after the mold opens.
The soft, adaptive silicone fingers conform to different part contours and securely grip plastic components without creating concentrated pressure points. This makes the system particularly suitable for injection molders, automation engineers, and mold makers who want to stabilize their removal processes, reduce scrap, and implement flexible robot or cobot solutions more easily.
A key advantage is its flexibility in handling variants: in many cases, several similar part geometries can be handled with just one gripper setup. This reduces the need for product-specific custom grippers, shortens changeover times, and simplifies integration into existing automation cells.
Your benefits in injection molding automation:
• Gentle removal of delicate plastic parts
• Controlled handling directly at the mold
• Reduced scrap through lower part stress
• Greater flexibility for variants and similar geometries
• Less EOAT complexity and fewer custom grippers
• Easy integration into robot, cobot, and automation solutions
• Higher process reliability during removal, placement, and downstream handling
