Abstract
A foil remover for removing one or more sheets of foil from an underlying hard surface. The foil remover includes a movable carrier and at least one gripper attached to the carrier. The gripper includes many pinching fingers, each of the fingers oriented approximately perpendicular to the hard surface and ending with a tip. The foil remover operates with respect to each of the grippers to bring the tips, mutually apart, in contact with the top sheet of foil and causes the tips to approach each other, and to pinch the sheets.
