Abstract

A gripper includes a main gripper body and at least two gripper fingers, at least one of which is movably mounted on the main gripper body. The gripper has a switch that can be switched between a first switch position and a second switch position, wherein the first switch position, fully releases a pulling device so that by the pulling device being pulled, the gripper finger movably mounted on the main gripper body is pulled into a closed position and the kinematic chain of the finger elements of the movably mounted gripper finger is bent. In the second switch position, a pulling section of the pulling device running along the kinematic chain of the finger elements of the movably mounted gripper finger is locked, so that by the pulling device being pulled, the gripper finger is only pulled into its closed position without the kinematic chain of the finger elements of the gripper finger being bent.
