ABSTRACT

A gripping device, suitable for grasping a layer of products, including a
horizontal suction plate connected to a pumping device and having vacuum
openings and being arranged to come into contact with a layer of products by
displacing the gripping device using a robot, and a flexible lateral skirt
forming a band surrounding the suction plate, wherein the skirt is configured
to move from a rest position in which it is at a distance from the layer of
products into a working position in which it is in contact with the layer of
products and the suction plate, the latter being capable of moving vertically
relative to the skirt to adapt the vacuum volume to the height of the layer of
products to be gripped by the gripper.
