Robots such as those used in factories are often equipped with vacuum grippers, for holding onto flat objects. Typically, those grippers are powered by compressed air, which has some drawbacks. Now, ...

OnRobot’s new VGP20 electric vacuum gripper provides a powerful and versatile solution for challenging palletizing scenarios including heavy, bulky and porous surfaces ODENSE, Denmark--(BUSINESS WIRE) ...

The new grippers have been developed on the basis of what is known as the Bernoulli principle. Compressed air flows through a very fine nozzle on the underside of the vacuum cup, which is then greatly ...

The VGS 310 System features a Duraflex suction cup and Coax cartridge and is designed for automated material handling at higher speeds. The decentralized system allows for a reliable grip on porous ...

(Nanowerk News) A short electric pulse is all it takes to generate and release a powerful vacuum in the blink of an eye. The novel vacuum gripper developed by the research team led by Professor Stefan ...

OnRobot has announced its new VGP30 vacuum gripper. This powerful and robust 30 kg (66 lbs.) payload gripper is designed to excel at palletizing boxes and handling irregular shapes and porous surfaces ...

MIT has been working on advancing robotics for many uses for many years now. Some of the robots it creates might one day help in disaster situations, while others may one day replace humans for tasks ...

In 2019, COVAL launched its first CVGC carbon vacuum gripper, designed for collaborative robots, when the market was just beginning to exist. Today, in a market that is constantly expanding, COVAL is ...

A plug and play product designed for a variety of cobot (collaborative robot) models, the unit seamlessly integrates with cobots to take advantage of their greatest strengths. It is light in weight ...

Grippers have become an important part of material handling in industries ranging from electronics manufacturing to automotive assembly. In North America alone, for example, the gripper market is ...

A short electric pulse is all it takes to generate and release a powerful vacuum in the blink of an eye. The novel vacuum gripper developed by the research team led by Professor Stefan Seelecke at ...

A short electric pulse is all it takes to generate and release a powerful vacuum in the blink of an eye. The novel vacuum gripper enables robot arms to pick up objects and move them around freely in ...
