The new OnRobot food-grade Soft Gripper is able to pick up a wide array of irregular shapes and delicate items in food and beverage, cosmetics and pharmaceuticals production, as well as manufacturing or packaging.

The electric device uses three interchangeable silicon-molded cups in star and four-finger configurations to pick up almost any small object under 2.2 kg with a delicate, precise touch. The Soft Gripper is food-grade certified and unlike traditional vacuum grippers, requires no external air supply.

“Our new Soft Gripper is challenging existing solutions for picking hard-to-grasp, delicate and odd-sized items,” says CEO of OnRobot, Enrico Krog Iversen.

“Unlike proprietary solutions, the Soft Gripper offers seamless integration with most collaborative robots and light industrial robots through our One System Solution.”

The One System Solution provides a unified mechanical and electrical interface between leading robot arms and any OnRobot end-of-arm tooling. The One System Solution was recently expanded to include integration with robots from ABB Robotics and Hanwha Precision Machinery.

Soft Gripper features include:

- Up to 2.2 kg payload based on shape, softness and friction of items to be handled

- Grip dimensions ranging from 10 mm-118 mm depending on cup used

- Food-grade. Complies with FDA 21 CFR for non-fatty items and EC 1935/2004

- Flexible, interchangeable silicon cups

- No need for an air supply

- Fast, flexible deployment with seamless integration on all major robot brands

According to the IDC Worldwide Semi-annual Robotics and Drones Spending Guide, spending on robotics and associated services will reach US$129.4 billion by 2022, three times the spending in 2018, with a five-year CAGR of 25.2% from 2017 to 2022 in Asia Pacific excluding Japan (APEJ).
