FIPA GmbH has entered into a close partnership with Stäubli Fluid Connectors. Starting in January 2023, both companies will offer complete system solutions with grippers. The collaboration increases FIPA’s presence on the international stage and further strengthens its market position in vacuum and gripper technology.

A robot alone does not provide a complete automation solution, because almost all applications re-quire end effectors. In the case of industrial robots, these are usually gripper systems. FIPA has been demonstrating its cross-industry expertise in gripper construction and in the sale of all associated components worldwide for decades. Stäubli also operates internationally and demonstrates its strength with mechatronics solutions, such as tool changer systems for every robot application. Both companies complement each other perfectly with their portfolios.

As part of the cooperation, FIPA will also market the proven Stäubli robotic tool changing systems, while Stäubli will offer the entire FIPA product range with the exception of lifting technology. From now on, customers will receive all vacuum and gripper components, as well as gripper solutions, from their usual contact partner. This results in synergy effects for customers of both companies, as they receive everything from a single source. Stäubli is represented by subsidiaries around the globe. Via the very dense Stäubli sales network, in close proximity to the customer, the extensive FIPA After Sales Service is also available worldwide. This guarantees the best quality of advice and fast response times. With this partnership, both companies are now offering the complete “kinematic chain” for robotics applications together.
