Hand-E Now Reaches 100 mm Without Giving Up an Ounce of Precision

If you’ve been using Hand-E Adaptive Gripper on your production line, you already know why it’s earned its reputation: a sealed, precise, dependable gripper that just works, shift after shift. Now that same gripper is available in a new 100 mm configuration, enabling customers to handle a wider range of parts without changing fingers, extenders, or grippers.

Everything that makes Hand-E reliable on your line stays exactly the same: the same 7 kg payload, the same IP67 sealed design built to handle dust, coolant, and debris, the same precision and repeatability, and the same controls, firmware, and integration, so there’s no new programming to learn.

The only thing that changes is the stroke: you now have the choice between the standard 50 mm configuration and a new 100 mm option, so you can pick the version that matches your part range instead of adapting your parts to your gripper.

Why it matters: less changeover, more flexibility

Manufacturers running high-mix production know the drill: parts vary in size, and keeping up often means swapping fingers or adding extenders every time a new part comes down the line. Every changeover is downtime, and every extra component is one more thing that can wear, loosen, or get misplaced.

The 100 mm configuration extends Hand-E’s full stroke range from 0 to 100 mm in a single, unified gripper. Grip force and precision are unchanged, and the added travel gives you flexibility without asking you to trade off accuracy.

Where it fits best

The Hand-E Adaptive Gripper new configuration is built for manufacturers who need one gripper to handle a broad range of parts, including:

• Assembly and pick-and-place, where part sizes shift throughout the process
• CNC and machine tending, especially in tough shop-floor conditions where sealing and durability matter
• High-mix environments, where one gripper now reaches parts from 0 to 100 mm without swapping components
• Physical AI applications, where Robotiq’s Adaptive Grippers are already the standard for contact-rich manipulation and rapid experimentation

If your team currently swaps fingertips or adds extenders to cover a range of part sizes, the 100 mm configuration is designed to simplify that workflow.

Choosing the right option for your parts

You don’t have to guess which Hand-E fits your line. If your parts stay within a tighter range, the 50 mm configuration still delivers the same performance it always has. If your parts vary more, or your team is currently juggling fingers and extenders to cover that range, the 100 mm configuration gives you room to work without adding a new tool to manage. Either way, setup, programming, and support stay the same, so the decision comes down to your parts, not your process.
