RG2 grippers On Robot's plug-and-play, two-finger grippers mount easily on cobots without any external wires and are available in single and dual versions. Standard fingers can pick up blocks weighing 4.4 pounds, but heavier loads are possible with customized designs.
What's new? The grippers, which became available in April in the U.S. So far, the grippers are compatible only with Universal Robot units, but On Robot plans to expand their interface capabilities in the future.
Benefits User-friendly, easy-to-integrate automation. Rather than using compressed air to actuate the grippers, On Robot's devices operate electronically, which requires less space. The grippers can be easily programmed directly from the same interface as the robot and can safely operate alongside people. They perform tedious and repetitive tasks, so that employees are free to fill other roles.
