Versatile products with a wide range of payload capacities for the industrial gripper market
Industrial robots and cobots currently use purpose-built grippers, designed for volume manufacturing environments, to lift and move items. Finrip’s modular, versatile grippers can handle a wide variety of loads, making them ideal for smaller production runs and adaptable to a broad range of parts.

With a simple, modular design protected by ten CEA patents, Finrip’s fingers and multi-finger grippers represent a departure from current solutions. Gripping-force sensors—a source of failures—have been eliminated from Finrip’s grippers. The products are also robust and easy for operators to program and use. In addition, the same multi-finger gripper can handle parts from 0 kg to 50 kg—one of the widest payload ranges on the market.
This innovative concept, which enables high dexterity for both power and precision movements, was made possible by decades of robotics research at the CEA.
Finrip, founded by a team of three, has a joint laboratory with the CEA to continue to improve the technology. The company’s first commercial products, which it plans to manufacture at a 1,500 sq. m plant, will be released in 2026.
