"Crystal Gel x Original Design Gripper" is a product developed by Yatoyama Proceed Co., Ltd., which specializes in the production of various types of robotic hands, and our company, which produces ultra-flexible gel materials. Made from soft materials of various hardness levels, it allows for handling of irregularly shaped objects without causing any damage. ★ Safety of the materials is guaranteed, including compliance with "Food Sanitation Packaging Container Standards" and "Primary Skin Irritation Tests." 【Features】 ■ Can grip irregularly shaped objects due to the "ultra-flexible gel material" ■ Usable on production lines in food factories due to compliance with food sanitation packaging container standards ■ Simply replace the "Crystal Gel" when it gets dirty. Maintenance and cleaning are easy. *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

Do you have any of the following requests or concerns? ◆ Soft silicone products are prone to tearing, making commercialization difficult. ◆ There are products with elasticity, but distortion cannot be improved. ◆ I want a product that is soft like human skin. ◆ I want to know about materials that are low in hardness and highly safe for the human body. ◆ I am concerned about the stickiness of soft products. We will expand the possibilities of soft products with our unique material formulation and processing technology. We can accommodate from prototypes to small and large lots! If you would like a sample, please clearly state 'Sample Request' along with your intended use and any concerns, and contact us. (Note: Samples are limited in quantity and may be declined. Thank you for your understanding.)

Hardness refers to the value obtained by measuring the hardness or softness of materials such as rubber and sponge using a device called a durometer. There are several types of durometers that correspond to the hardness of the object being measured, with commonly used types being Type A, Type E, and Type D. Our company proposes thermoplastic elastomers and silicone RTV and Mirable as low-hardness materials. We have successful case studies of applications such as packing for respiratory devices, foot pressure point massage, and taping, all implemented with low hardness.

Suppressing droplets during endoscopic examinations has become a significant challenge in the medical field. "Masupita (for endoscopy)" is designed based on ergonomic principles, taking the environment into consideration, and can be used as one of the sustainable droplet suppression measures. The combination with a transnasal endoscope that has a low gag reflex and the ability to use it with gauze is considered a major advantage. 【Features】 ■ Reduces droplets during endoscopic examinations ■ Washable and disinfectable for repeated use ■ Crystal gel fits the skin *For more details, please refer to the PDF materials or feel free to contact us.
