Gecko Gripper
The nature inspired OnRobot gecko technology makes it possible to attach and lift any kind of flat and smooth surfaces. Fast and easy gripping technology for Pick & Place application.
- Description
- Specifications
Gecko gripper is enhanced with gecko-inspired adhesive which will hep the robot to pick flat/porous products easily without vacuum system. Moreover it is integrated with load sensor to grasp the product precisely and range sensor to detect the product before picking and while handling it throughout the operation.
- Grips with gecko-inspired adhesive
- Picks up flat objects without air systems
- Can lift solid or porous objects
- Instantaneous gripping
- Integrated load sensor for precise gripping
- Range sensor – part presence
- 3 ways to clean: autonomous, robotically and manually
