Abstract :
In this paper a new handling system, based on capillary force, is presented. The principle of the gripper mechanism is explained and a description of its main parameters and characteristics is given in order to model the system. Then, the theoretical and numerical models of the system are compared with experimental measurements and the reliability of the system is verified through a demonstration set-up
