Assembly
5-part plastic crates
Next to an injection molding machine, the custom gripper receives the 5 parts of each collapsible crate and works with a table that presses and locks its sides.
SCHUNK grippers in Chile: official distributor
Mundos Virtuales is an official SCHUNK distributor in Chile: we sell SCHUNK grippers and integrate them into FANUC robotic cells, with local technical support. If no standard gripper fits, we design a custom one.
Gripping systems for robots
The gripper is the part of the cell that touches the workpiece: if it does not hold it properly, the robot loses cycles, damages the part or places it out of position. Because we are also an official FANUC robot integrator, when we integrate a gripper we define it together with the robot, the layout and the controls, not as an accessory added at the end.
Official SCHUNK distributor in Chile
Since 2020 we have been an official SCHUNK distributor in Chile for gripping systems (grippers). We sell SCHUNK grippers on their own, for your robot or your machine, and we also integrate them into the FANUC robotic cells we design.
Standard gripper or custom gripper
SCHUNK grippers
When the part and the process allow it, we start from a standard SCHUNK gripper. We sell it to you on its own if you already have the robot or the machine, or we integrate it into one of our cells. We did this in a food application, with a SCHUNK needle gripper mounted on a FANUC Delta M3ia robot.
Custom robot gripper
When no standard gripper fits, we design the tool for that part and build it with 3D printing, machining and assembly in our workshop. That is how we made the grippers that pick banknotes without damaging them.
Robotic grippers for multiple parts
Some applications require picking several parts or working with a table or a machine. We design the grip around the whole cycle, not just the moment the part is picked.
Integration into the cell
We mount the gripper on the robot, program it and coordinate it with the PLC, computer vision and the machines on the line.
Robotic cellsSCHUNK grippers in our cells
Two-finger and three-finger SCHUNK grippers that we integrate into robotic cells with FANUC robots. We also sell SCHUNK grippers on their own, so you can mount them on your own robot or machine.
Robotic gripping projects
Each one was a complete robotic cell with a FANUC robot, designed and commissioned by our team.
Machine tending
Lathe, milling machine and chamfering machine
A gripper positions and loads parts into the three machines and automates their feeding.
Cash management
Banknote grippers
Grippers designed and 3D printed so that two coordinated FANUC robots can pick banknotes without damaging them.
Vision-guided gripping
When the part does not always arrive in the same position, the gripper works with a camera that tells it where to pick.
In a chicken leg detection system, a FANUC Delta M3ia robot with a SCHUNK needle gripper picks each piece guided by a 3D camera and a color camera, and a pneumatic system flips it. In the banknote cell, computer vision detects the denomination, position and condition of each banknote before the gripper picks it. And in R&D we developed blueberry detection and handling with computer vision.
FANUC robot integrationHow we define the gripper
We do not publish fixed prices: the cost depends on the part, the type of grip and whether the tool is standard or custom-built. We quote after the technical assessment. If you only need the SCHUNK gripper, tell us the application or the model and we will quote it separately.
We serve you from our office at Miraflores 383, Torre Centenario, Floor 22, Santiago, Chile. You can also call us at +56 2 2634 0001.
- Assessment
- We review the part, the cycle and the process, and propose the scope and work plan.
- Design and simulation
- We choose a SCHUNK gripper or design our own: concept, sketches and 3D modeling, with CAD simulations before building.
- Fabrication
- 3D printing, machining and assembly of the tool in our workshop.
- Integration and commissioning
- Mounting on the FANUC robot, programming, testing and on-site installation.
- After-sales
- Program adjustments, recipe changes, maintenance and spare parts.
Gripper FAQ
Can't find your question? Write to us and a specialist from the area will reply.
Is Mundos Virtuales an official SCHUNK distributor in Chile?
Yes. Mundos Virtuales has been an official SCHUNK distributor in Chile since 2020 for gripping systems (grippers). We are also an official FANUC robot integrator, so we can handle the robot and the gripper in the same project.
Do you sell SCHUNK grippers on their own?
Yes. We sell SCHUNK grippers on their own, for your robot or your machine, and we also integrate them into the robotic cells we design, together with the FANUC robot, safety, control panel and commissioning.
What is a robot gripper?
It is the tool mounted on the robot wrist that picks the part: jaws, a needle system, suction cups or another mechanism. It determines whether the robot holds the part without dropping or damaging it and places it in the right position.
When does a custom gripper make sense?
When no standard gripper fits the part: irregular shapes, delicate items such as banknotes, or several parts picked at once. In those cases we design it and build it with 3D printing and machining in our workshop.
How much does a robot gripper cost?
It depends on the part, the type of grip and whether the gripper is a standard SCHUNK model or custom-built. We do not publish fixed prices: tell us about the application or the SCHUNK gripper you need and we will send you a quote.
Which robots do the grippers you integrate work with?
With FANUC robots, which are the robots we integrate in all our cells, from articulated robots to the FANUC Delta M3ia.
What part does your robot need to pick?
Tell us about the part and the process, or the SCHUNK gripper you need, and we will send you a quote: the gripper on its own or integrated into a robotic cell.
