World's Most Powerful Electric Vacuum Gripper
Who needs an unwieldy and costly pneumatic material-handling system when OnRobot has just launched the VGP20 electric vacuum gripper? The easy-to-deploy gripping tool can handle payloads up to 20 kg (44 lb), making it a great fit for a wide range of applications, including machine tending.
Like all of OnRobot's grippers, the VGP20 comes complete with everything needed for fast, easy deployment with any leading robot.
While pneumatic grippers require compressed air to operate, the VGP20 is all-electric and ready to go out of the box, enabling companies to save up to 90% on operating and maintenance costs compared to traditional pneumatic gripper deployments. It also provides unlimited cup and airflow customization and multichannel functionality, allowing it to be deployed on multiple items of different shapes and sizes.
Plus, OnRobot says the VGP20 gripper's built-in intelligence, combined with its easy-to-use software, provides precise air-flow control functionality that is beyond the capabilities of traditional pneumatic grippers. This functionality allows users to vary the type of grip used in different applications, such as the soft grip used to handle delicate items to the hard grip required for handling bulky, heavy cardboard boxes with porous surfaces.
OnRobot's VGP20 gripper also provides an option to enable continuous monitoring of the gripper's air flow. If this option is selected and the vacuum is interrupted for any reason, the robot will come to an immediate halt and an alert pop-up window will be displayed in the gripper software.
