About Weiss Robotics
Weiss Robotics develops servo-electric and smart pneumatic grippers, cobot kits and gripper-integration software. The portfolio combines mechatronic grippers with sensing, control and GRIPLINK integration tools for assembly, electronics, laboratory and intralogistics work. Founded in 2008, the owner-managed company develops and manufactures in Ludwigsburg and now exposes real-time motion and force streaming for AI-driven manipulation.
Its current documentation covers product selection, system integration and support for automation teams, with applications and configuration limits tied to the relevant hardware or software family.
