OnRobot VGP20 Electric Vacuum Gripper

The ideal vacuum gripper for palettizing and heavy-duty material handling. Save up to 90% on operating and maintenance costs with the new VGP20 electric vacuum gripper. The gripper can pick up bulky, heavy-duty payloads of up to 20 kg while being intelligent enough to handle a wide range of items, including those with porous and non-porous surfaces. The powerful, customizable OnRobot VGP20 easily handles these thinner and less expensive packaging materials, allowing you to save considerably on both automation and shipping costs.

OnRobot Screwdriver

Automated screwdriving to boost productivity and quality has never been easier, smarter, or more cost-effective. The OnRobot intelligent Screwdriver speeds setup and programming, with everything you need right out of the box. Simply mount the Screwdriver on any leading robot arm and install the appropriate bit, then enter screw length and torque directly into the robot’s user interface. Precise torque control and embedded axis eliminate the time and cost for additional integration and ensures consistent, accurate screw insertion. Changeovers to a different screw type or size take just minutes, reducing downtime and boosting ROI.

OnRobot Soft Gripper

The OnRobot Soft Gripper is able to pick a wide array of irregular shapes and delicate items, making it ideal for pick-and-place applications in food and beverage production, as well as manufacturing or packaging. The gripper is available with three interchangeable silicon-molded cups. From eggs to fruit, to bottles or cans, food and beverage automation just got easier. Like all OnRobot grippers, the Soft Gripper offers seamless integration with the robot of your choice. The Soft Gripper operates without an external air supply, for no additional costs or complexity, and none of the dust or noise generated by traditional vacuum grippers.

AMRs Helping Businesses Battle Labor Shortages In Material Handling

Regardless of the industry, business model or operational scale, all companies speak the universal language of material handling. The success of any business depends on the safe and efficient transport of products from one area to another. Many companies utilize forklifts for their material handling processes. In fact, there are an estimated 856,000 forklifts operating in the US according to the Industrial Truck Association. This has left companies with extreme logistical challenges as they struggle to hire and maintain forklift drivers during the nationwide skilled labor shortage...

GETTING AN EXTRA SET OF EYES ON AUTOMATED PRODUCTION

The first automated pick and place application was developed in the 1930s, and it has since revolutionized the manufacturing industry. Manufacturers ran with the game changing innovation and began designing assembly lines with robotics arms in mind. As gripper technology improved, so did companies' production speeds. However, inconsistent product location and orientation continue to plague manufacturing operations. Unlike in human pick and place applications, robotic pick and place requires repeatable product positioning for successful results — until now, that is...

Circumventing Wi-Fi Instability In Material Handling

Material handling operations have improved vastly since manufacturing and distribution facilities started looking for ways to make once fully manual operations more efficient. Originally seen as a necessary but wasteful and expensive activity, automated material handling solutions—like using autonomous mobile robots (AMRs)—have improved not only how efficiently materials are transferred but also how drastically they reduced costs. However, material handling operations are now experiencing a new obstacle, Wi-Fi instability...

Accessorizing With Dress Packs Is Leading To More Productive Robotic Applications

Robotic cable management is often overlooked and saved as the last part of the design process when implementing robotic solutions, despite being cited as the number one reason for downtime in robotic applications. Common cable issues are tangling, corkscrewing, fraying and complete breaks, all of which can lead to costly downtime. Improper cable management can also restrict the movement of a robotic arm, directly affecting the process performance...
