In the world of flexible manufacturing, challenges like limited space adaptability, low precision in lightweight material handling, and poor multi-scenario compatibility have long bottlenecked production line efficiency. To address these critical pain points, SRT’s R&D team has deepened its focus on flexible gripping technology, undergoing multiple rounds of scenario testing and iterative optimization. Today, we are proud to introduce the SRT NVG-A30 Soft Gripper– a solution that combines compact design, robust performance, and broad adaptability to deliver more flexible, reliable handling across industries.
1. R&D Background: Solving Industry Pain Points Through Innovation
As industries such as electronics manufacturing, food processing, and precision assembly shift toward “higher precision and faster throughput,” the demands for flexible handling tools have become increasingly stringent. These tools must operate seamlessly in tight spaces (e.g., narrow gaps, dense arrays), ensure stability and repeatability when handling lightweight materials, adapt to diverse substrates (from delicate electronics to fragile food items), and maintain long service lives to reduce replacement costs.
With the goal of “small size, strong adaptability, and high reliability,” SRT’s R&D team drove breakthroughs across material selection, structural design, and performance testing:
• High-wear flexible materials were chosen, with built-in cores to enhance fingertip force;
• Size and deformation control were optimized for tight-space operations;
• Dual-mode (positive/negative pressure) actuation was developed to accommodate various materials;
• Over 1.5 million cycles of life testing were conducted to ensure durability.
The result? The NVG-A30 Soft Gripper Module, which fills the gap in “lightweight, precision handling.”

3. Target Industries & Applications: Versatility Across Sectors
With its flexible adaptability, the NVG-A30 has become a “go-to flexible handling tool” for industries ranging from electronics to food processing. Key applications include:
Electronics Manufacturing: Precision Handling for High Standards
• Small Electronic Component Transfer: Handles items like phone frames, friction rings, and irregular mid-plates. Enables “multi-piece single-row” simultaneous gripping, with minimal tilt during horizontal transfer – meeting the strict posture requirements of precision assembly.
• Dense Array Operations: Navigates narrow gaps and densely arranged board materials without reconfiguring production lines, solving the “can’t reach, can’t grip” issue of traditional grippers.
Food Processing: Efficient Array Handling, Quality Preservation
• Formed Food Transfer: Manages items like square cakes and croissants, supporting “multi-piece array gripping” (e.g., 6 cakes per row, 10 croissants at a time). Adapts to high-throughput production (120 units/min) without crushing or deforming food, preserving product appearance and quality.
• Cold Chain Compatibility: Integrates seamlessly into pre-freezing tunnel handling. Its material resists low temperatures, aligning with the hygiene and efficiency needs of the food industry.
Other Lightweight Precision Sectors
Ideal for handling lightweight (0–300g), fragile items such as small medical device components and 3C accessories. The dual positive/negative pressure mode switches flexibly based on material properties, minimizing handling damage.
4. Key Product Advantages: 4 Standout Features
Agile Operation in Tight Spaces
At 30mm × 40mm and 30g, the NVG-A30 integrates easily with small robotic arms. It navigates tight gaps and dense arrays – spaces where traditional grippers struggle – without requiring production line overhauls, reducing adaptation costs.
Flexible Adaptation to Multi-Scenarios
The dual positive/negative pressure design is a core highlight:
• Positive pressure: Gripper opens for fast material positioning;
• Negative pressure: Gripper closes gently for fragile items.
From rigid electronics to soft food, one gripper handles it all – cutting down on tool change frequency.
Long-Lasting Reliability
The built-in reinforcing core and 70 Shore hardness wear-resistant material, paired with >1.5 million cycles of life testing, ensure stability during long-term, high-frequency use. This reduces production line downtime from gripper failures and lowers maintenance costs.
Fast Customization Response
For specialized material handling needs, fingertip customization is available – with a lead time of just 7–10 business days. This is 50% faster than the industry average, enabling quick adaptation to unique production requirements.
