Vacuum Gripper Robot – OnRobot VG10
Key Features of the OnRobot VG10 Vacuum Gripper
Unlike traditional pneumatic vacuum grippers, the VG10 generates vacuum internally without requiring an external compressor or air supply. This reduces installation complexity, lowers operating costs, and simplifies maintenance.
Fast Installation and Deployment
The plug-and-play design enables quick installation on collaborative robots, allowing manufacturers to minimise setup time and achieve faster return on investment (ROI).
Dual Vacuum Gripping Functionality
The VG10 features independent control of the left and right vacuum channels, allowing two objects to be handled simultaneously or sequentially. This helps shorten production cycle times and improve overall efficiency.
Adjustable Vacuum Control
The vacuum level can be adjusted according to different products, making the gripper suitable for handling lightweight, delicate, or irregularly shaped items while maintaining a secure grip.
Flexible Product Handling
Interchangeable vacuum cups and flexible gripper arms allow the VG10 to handle cartons, plastic components, metal parts, electronic products, packaged goods, and many other materials.
Easy Robot Integration
The OnRobot VG10 integrates seamlessly with many collaborative robots, enabling manufacturers to implement automation without extensive programming or complex system modifications.
