UniGripper alternatives

UniGripper, from Sweden, makes flexible vacuum grippers whose patented valve technology lets a single gripper handle products of different shapes, sizes and materials. That flexibility is the proposition: instead of changing tooling between product variants, one gripper adapts across them, which matters where packaging formats and materials change often. Its mechanism is vacuum rather than fingers or jaws. Unitronics, headquartered at Airport City in Israel and listed on the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange since 2004, supplies the control layer, PLC+HMI units, servo and motion control for OEM machine builders and industrial automation through a worldwide distributor network and a US subsidiary. US Digital, in Vancouver, Washington, provides encoder feedback, company-stated as delivering quality in motion since 1980, for robotics, medical and laboratory equipment, additive manufacturing, industrial automation, renewable energy, aerospace and textiles, as a private company with no public funding rounds disclosed. Vaccon Co., from Medway, Massachusetts and founded in 1972 per Bimba's acquisition announcement, is the nearest vacuum relative, making venturi vacuum pumps whose straight-through, single-stage design lets dust and contaminants pass through without clogging, for packaging, automotive, factory automation and material handling. VacMotion, also United States based, supplies the consumable side of vacuum handling: suction cups, vacuum cups, venturi vacuum generators and vacuum filtration components for industrial applications. Vacuum-gripper users can therefore weigh Unitronics for machine control, US Digital for encoders, Vaccon for vacuum generation, and VacMotion for cups and filtration.
