For a long time, pneumatic grippers have been a key component in industrial automation. With the expansion of the gripper market, the drawbacks of pneumatic grippers have gradually become apparent. Firstly, although pneumatic grippers can achieve single - point grasping, they produce a lot of noise during operation. Secondly, the unstable air pressure output of pneumatic grippers leads to inconsistent clamping force, making the grasped objects likely to fall. These disadvantages limit the use of pneumatic grippers in high - demand environments, and thus electric grippers came into being.

Compared with pneumatic grippers, electric grippers can be digitally controlled, enabling precise control of speed, position, and clamping force. They have the advantages of multi - point precise control and output force, as well as high flexibility, which better meets the current demand for flexibility in production lines. After several years of development, the application scope of electric grippers has gradually expanded. From robots to industrial automation, the number of new manufacturers has increased rapidly. Even though electric grippers are characterized by high flexibility and precision compared with pneumatic grippers, due to various factors such as price, technology, and customer trust, pneumatic grippers still account for an overwhelming proportion in the current gripper market.

Most of the gripper products in China follow the development trends of foreign countries in form. The end - effector products for collaborative robots mostly follow those of foreign enterprises. Only in some fields with low cost - sensitivity will domestic end - effectors be considered, and the high - end market applications are almost monopolized by foreign products. In fact, currently, both domestic and foreign grippers can only achieve relatively simple functions and relatively stable performance, with a high degree of homogenization. Both the technology and applications are in the primary stage. In particular, there is still significant room for growth in the field of small - load grippers, and truly innovative products, technologies, or applications have not yet emerged. Admittedly, as one of the key components of robots, grippers directly determine the working quality and efficiency of robots. The flexibility and reliability of grippers create more competitiveness and value for the application of robots. This means that only enterprises that truly serve specific applications and master core technologies can gain more user recognition and lead the domestic substitution of the gripper market.

For grippers to penetrate more industries, it depends on their reliability in specific application scenarios. Through continuous exploration, Niruite Robotics has mature and reliable products implemented in various sub - industries. In the industrial manufacturing field, the intelligent - moving robot pneumatic end - effector developed specifically for multi - frequency and multi - product mixed - line production, which is used for product packaging, loading, unloading, and palletizing, is creating more value for customers. In the intelligent warehousing field, Niruite Robotics has developed a multi - functional pneumatic chuck end - effector suitable for adaptive planned grasping of various items. This heavy - load pneumatic end - effector has expansion and folding functions. It can not only handle cartons of different sizes through planning but also deal with large and heavy pallets. With 3D vision, it can be applied to driverless product delivery systems.

In the next few years, Niruite Robotics will continue to deepen its technologies, products, and services in the intelligent grasping field, identify two or three sub - fields, expand domestic and international channels, and quickly capture the market. At the same time, it will build a leading robot team at home and abroad, continuously research and develop innovative technologies, become a leading enterprise in the end - clamping industry, and enable more enterprises to benefit from good technologies and products.
