Abstract:
The present invention relates to a gripper ( 100 ) and in particular a pneumatically operated gripper ( 100 ) in the form of a vacuum gripper or gripping tongs. The gripper ( 100 ) comprises a gripper holder ( 3.1, 3.2 ) via which the gripper ( 100 ) is preferably detachably connectable to a manipulator, robotic arm or the like. The gripper ( 100 ) further comprises at least one gripping member ( 2.1, 2.2 ) connected to the gripper holder ( 3.1, 3.2 ) and realized such that an object to be gripped or workpiece can be gripped by manipulating the at least one gripping member ( 2.1, 2.2 ). In order to achieve the gripper ( 100 ) being able to gently grip an object to be gripped, whereby both the object to be gripped as well as the at least one gripping member of the gripper are effectively protected against damage while the object to be gripped is being manipulated, the invention provides for the at least one gripping member ( 2.1, 2.2 ) to have a flocking ( 5 ) at least in the area which comes into contact with the object to be gripped/workpiece during the manipulating of the at least one gripping member ( 2.1, 2.2 ).

Claim (Index 2):
The gripper ( 100 ) according to  claim 1 ,\n wherein the flocking ( 5 ) exhibits fiber filaments, which come into contact with the object to be gripped/workpiece during the manipulating of the at least one gripping member ( 2 . 1 ,  2 . 2 ) at least in some areas connected to the at least one gripping member ( 2 . 1 ,  2 . 2 ) or at least in some areas incorporated into the material of the at least one gripping member ( 2 . 1 ,  2 . 2 ) such that the fiber filaments extend substantially perpendicular from the surface of the gripping member ( 2 . 1 ,  2 . 2 ).
