The relevance of fiber-reinforced plastics (FRP) as engineering materials is increasing steadily due to their outstanding properties. They have become a key element in any energy client, resource-conserving approach to natural resources. In a mass production environment, it is vital to maintaining a fully
automatic process chain in order to ensure that manufacturing costs remain competitive in comparison with those incurred in conventional manufacturing processes. In addition to damage-free pick-up, adaptation to the shape of the deposition, a point is a key element in the handling process. This requirement has been met by the Fraunhofer IPT, which has developed new gripper kinematics such as the octopus gripper and implemented them in industry.
