Abstract :
This paper presents the design of gripper for handling food product based on Bernoulli principle and gripper fingers. The flexible gripper developed in this project showed improvements in the efficiency of the device by reducing the airflow and supply pressure in order to reduce the operating costs. This technique has a major advantage because it is capable of handling not only flat-shaped food products, but also able to lift and hold round, irregular shaped products.
