Designed for cobots, these plug-and-play, two-finger grippers can be programmed easily.

RG6 grippers Designed for cobots, these plug-and-play, two-finger grippers can be programmed easily. The end-of-arm tools are available in single and dual versions, with customizable fingertips and a standard safety shield.

What's new? The grippers, which became available in late 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.
