A vacuum gripper comprises a rigid base element and a loop-shaped vacuum seal element. The base element has first and second opposite sides. The seal element is attached at least indirectly to the second side and protruding therefrom in a direction away from the first side. The seal element comprises a contact surface that at least partially contacts with an object surface and an encircling surface oriented transversely to the contact surface so as to define a chamber. The seal element is elastically deformable at the contact surface to enable conforming to the object surface when pressed thereagainst. The vacuum gripper comprises an air extraction means mounted to the first side to be in fluid communication with the chamber through the base element, and configured to continuously extract air from the chamber to cause the contact surface to be urged towards and grip the object surface when pressed thereagainst.
A vacuum gripper comprising a rigid base element having a first side and a second side opposite to the first side, the second side having a central area and a periphery surrounding the central area, the rigid base element incorporating a contact surface capable of adhering to an object surface when pressed against it, the base element forming a chamber contained by the second side, the periphery and the contact surface, the base element being in fluid communication with an air extraction means for extracting air from within the chamber.
