The top surface of a one-dan can is not flat, as it has a handle and a spout. This aspect made the transportation of the one-dan can difficult. With suction pads, the area that can be suctioned is small, making it challenging to generate sufficient lifting force. Additionally, the rapid deterioration of the foam part has become a new issue. The Piab KENOS KVGL.220.220.N205.FR10.S2-2.QM is a gripper sized to avoid contact with the spout and handle. It has a longer foam lifespan and has also reduced maintenance frequency.
