OnRobot, a manufacturer of end-of-arm tooling for collaborative applications, is demonstrating its electric vacuum gripper, the VGP20, as well as its dual applications for Universal Robots and Omron TM at this year’s Robotics and Automation exhibition.Â
Over the next two days at the Coventry Building Society Arena, OnRobot is showcasing how its easy out-of-the-box setup, programming, versatile and flexible screwdriving solutions provide fast changeovers for a wide range of screw sizes and lengths.
According to the company, its system provides precise torque control and intelligent error detection ensuring quality and consistency.
Furthermore, the application with electric vacuum gripper VGP20 on Omron TM is designed for cardboard box palletising, handling irregular shapes and dealing with porous surfaces. This is also being demonstrated on stand 618.
Reportedly the industry’s most powerful electric vacuum gripper, it saves up to 90% over pneumatic grippers, while built-in intelligence and multichannel functionality ensures failsafe, flexible operation.
OnRobot’s wider product range includes an assortment of tools for collaborative applications, including: electric and vacuum grippers, Gecko gripping technology, force/torque sensors, a 2.5D vision system, screwdriver, sander kits and tool changers.
This combination of offerings is designed to simplify automating tasks such as packaging, quality control, materials handling, machine tending, assembly, and surface finishing.
Vikram Kumar, general manager North Europe, CEE and Russia, OnRobot, said: “Whether it is metal, automotive, pharma, warehousing, laboratories and hospitals, or food and beverage, we provide a solution for them.
“Any repetitive task, such as screwdriving, testing and palletising, in the range of 20kg to 25kg, is what we’re looking to provide a solution for because the entire world, including England and Britain, is facing a huge shortage of labour.”
OnRobot (Stand 618) is at Robotics and Automation 2021 on 02-03 November at the Coventry Building Society Arena. For more details, go to www.roboticsandautomation.co.uk
