In this podcast, Lisa Eitel talks with Tom Lee, the V.P. of engineering at Airpot Corp., about new gripper designs for 2016.

The company was originally built around the Airpot dashpot, a component invented by industrialist Arthur Cohen in the 1950s for mechanical switches and relays and textile winders.

In the podcast, Tom explains Airpot’s latest technologies as well as end-effector applications as a whole.
