OnRobot Vacuum Grippers for Cobots

With 16 vacuum ports, included fittings, plugs, swiveling arms that give you up to a 400mm footprint, built-in Quick Changer, the VG10 is a next generation Vacuum EOAT that enables you to start producing with minimal setup time and accessories. Additionally, EMI provides many compatible vacuum cups.

See Q#8211 if you need a customizable Vacuum EOAT using EMI’s EOAT framing, vacuum cups, 3D printing or laser cut plates.

• Seamless integration with the robot of your choice.
• Weight: 1.62kg / 3.57 lbs
• Integrated software.
• No external air supply required.
• Built-in electric vacuum generator.
• May require a Compute Box with some Robot models.

Smaller than the Q# 8210 VG10, the VGC10 can fit into tight environments to extend your automation possibilities. And at half the weight of the VG10 but with the same payload, the VGC10 can lift small, odd-shaped, and heavy objects even with a smaller robot arm. The VGC10 features two independently controlled air channels that allow it to act as a dual gripper with pick-up and release in the same action, further increasing efficiency and reducing cycle time. With no compressor or air supply needed, this compact electrical gripper is easy to move, and simple programming makes it quick and easy to redeploy for greater production flexibility.

• Built-in electric vacuum generator.
• Weight: 0.814kg / 1.79 lbs
• Flexible electric vacuum gripper with unlimited customization fits all your application needs.
• Compact, lightweight gripper is perfect for tight spaces but with plenty of power for objects up to 15kg.
• No external air supply needed.
• Integrated software.
• May require a Compute Box with some Robot models.

* When using three 40mm cups (more info in the Payload tab to the right). Number of cups needed for non-porous materials varies depending on payload and vacuum.

The Gecko Single Pad (SP) Gripper brings the innovative Gecko adhesive gripper technology to small-footprint applications that were previously impossible to automate. The gecko-inspired adhesive technology offers precise, no-mark gripping, even for perforated items such as circuit boards or for shiny surfaces, without the cleaning process. Named after their payload in kilos, the three different Gecko Single Pad grippers (SP1, SP3 and SP5) work with leading small robots and cobots. The compact, single-pad design allows easy workpiece accessibility, even in tight spaces. With no electronics or air supply needed, the Gecko SP is a cost-effective, true plug-and-play solution. Seamless integration with the robot of your choice.

VGP 20 Specifications

*Cardboard is recommended to 10kg. Other conditions apply, see tab below.

** The gripping time can be shortened with smaller or less suction cups. The release time depends on the payload. With high payload, you can achieve fast release time.

• Highly versatile palletizing gripper with wide stroke and customizable arms handles heavy or open boxes, shelf-ready products and other containers that can’t be gripped with vacuum
• Integrated vacuum gripper handles slip sheets without changing the gripper or requiring other handling method
• Off-the-shelf gripper saves significant engineering effort and shortens deployment time
• Electric gripper offers fast out-of-the-box deployment without the complexity and costs of external air supply
• Gripper will hold workpiece in case of powerloss
• Integrated electric BLDC motor included
• Vacuum unit includes integrated 50μm field replaceable dust filters
• IP 54 Classification
• Base unit weight with standard fingers and pads: 5.07kg (11.18 lb)
• Base unit weight with standard fingers, pads and all vacuum equipment: 5.34kg (11.77 lb)

(1)When pads are mounted, the minimum value is 158mm and the maximum value is 418mm. (2)See Force vs Current Graph in the next tab. (3)At 6mm stroke and 150N. The typical value is 900ms at 20mm and 200N. (4)The noise level of the 2FGP20 depends on whether the finger or vacuum gripping part is used. Vacuum gripping noise depends on the set vacuum level and whether an object is picked up or not. Higher speed and stroke increase the noise. The noise level also depends on the surroundings and other equipment.
