OnRobot soft gripper

The OnRobot food-grade soft gripper is able to pick a wide array of irregular shapes and delicate items in food and beverage, cosmetics and pharmaceuticals production, as well as manufacturing or packaging.

The flexible electric gripper uses three interchangeable silicon-moulded cups in star and four-finger configurations to pick up almost any small object under 2.2 kg with a delicate, precise touch. It is food-grade certified (complies with FDA 21 CFR for non-fatty items and EC 1935/2004) and, unlike traditional vacuum grippers, requires no external air supply, so it can reduce both cost and complexity.

OnRobot’s One System Solution is a platform that provides a unified mechanical and electrical interface between leading robot arms and any OnRobot end-of-arm tooling (EoAT). The One System Solution has been expanded to include integration with robots from ABB Robotics and Hanwha Precision Machinery.

While the soft gripper is suitable for food and beverage applications, it also provides flexible, delicate gripping for manufacturing and packaging. Grip dimensions ranging from 10 to 118 mm are possible depending on the cup used.
