SCHUNK Inc. Product
The gripper technology of ADHESO grippers is based on an adhesive system modeled on nature. The adhesive forces used by animals such as geckos for locomotion are now being utilized by SCHUNK for use in handling applications in the most diverse of field
The bionically inspired ADHESO gripper technology is based on the principle of adhesion and uses intermolecularly acting Van der Waals forces to handle various workpieces.
The advantages of ADHESO gripper technology are revolutionary:
- Gripping without residue
- Sensitive gripping without mechanical force
- No external power supply
SCHUNK’s application experts take advantage of these benefits and develop customer-specific adhesive grippers with ADHESO gripper technology. Due to the high variability of the adhesive structures, grippers with ADHESO technology can be directly tailored to the requirements of your application.

Material & surface
SCHUNK grippers with ADHESO gripper technology have a distinctive surface architecture made of special polymers. The result is an extremely fine leg-like structure that adheres to a wide variety of materials and objects without leaving a residue. The scalability options and use of different material characteristics allows the adhesive structure to be adapted to different workpieces and surfaces. This makes grippers with ADHESO technology easy to customize for the most diverse workpieces and applications.
