Winner of the HERMES AWARD 2024

How can a flexible, efficient, and future-proof production be established under the aspect of a shortage of skilled workers and resource conservation? The solution lies in automation. The 2D Grasping Kit reliably handles repetitive, monotonous handling tasks and is easy to operate even without expert know-how. The intelligent solution also convinced the jury of the HERMES AWARD 2024, which honored the innovative 2D Grasping Kit with the coveted technology prize at the Hannover Messe.

As a partner of the automotive industry, SCHUNK has the right handling concept for every drive in its portfolio. For the heart of e-mobility, the battery, SCHUNK offers the RCG round cell gripper as the first standard product from the e-mobility range.
