ExEn EXTREME-TEMPERATURE GRIPPING SYSTEMS
The ExEn platform takes our robotic handling technologies beyond nuclear, into glass, metallurgy and advanced manufacturing, enabling high-temperature gripping and handling at up to 1,400°C and beyond.
our mission
Where Conventional Technologies Fall Short, We Deliver
Extreme heat, radiation, challenging surfaces and fragile components require more than conventional gripping technologies.
ExEn combines high-temperature resistance, secure lifting and gentle, adaptive contact for demanding industrial handling applications.
As extreme-temperature gripping systems, both ExEn platforms are engineered to operate reliably where conventional automation fails.

The problem
Conventional gripping technologies can lose performance or become unsuitable above 700°C.
Hot components are non-magnetic, rough, porous or difficult to grip reliably.
Rigid gripping and handling can mark, chip or damage fragile and high-value components.
Our solution
ExEn enables reliable gripping at temperatures up to 1,400°C without active cooling.
Our vacuum and adaptive gripping technologies maintain secure contact across rough, porous, non-magnetic and challenging materials and surfaces.
Soft contact and tactile sensing support controlled, adaptive handling while reducing the risk of marking, chipping and surface damage.
Two Complementary Extreme-Temperature Gripping Systems
ExEn is designed for automated handling of high-temperature, fragile and difficult-to-grip components across glass, metallurgy and advanced manufacturing applications.
ExEn Vacuum System
Vacuum gripping for temperatures up to 1,400°C, ideal for repeatable geometries, with no active cooling or consumable interfaces.
ExEn Mechanical Gripper
Soft mechanical grippers with tactile sensing for complex, irregular and fragile shapes where vacuum gripping is not suitable.
Extreme-temperature operation
Validated for robotic handling at temperatures up to 1,400°C, supporting demanding high-temperature industrial applications.
No cooling
Operates without active cooling or consumable contact interfaces, simplifying high-temperature robotic handling.
Challenging-surface grip
Designed for rough, porous, non-magnetic and difficult-to-grip materials and surfaces.
Gentle, adaptive contact
Soft gripping and tactile sensing support controlled handling while reducing the risk of marking, chipping and surface damage.
