Based on the design of the OnRobot VG10 electric vacuum gripper, the compact VGC10 is smaller and lighter, and therefore suitable for confined environments and smaller robot arms; yet offers the same payload of 15 kg. Fully integrated software through OnRobot’s newly developed One System Solution platform makes it quick to deploy and redeploy on any major collaborative or light industrial robot arm.
The VGC10 also provides fast out-of-the-box deployment, including unlimited customisation, with easily changeable suction cup options and the ability to add or replace arms to fit specific application needs. With this configurability, the VGC10 can grip and move a wide array of small, multi-dimensional, and heavy objects, even with a lighter payload robot arm.
“We listened to customers who loved the features of the VC10 gripper but sometimes needed a more configurable, compact version, so we delivered,” says Enrico Krog Iversen, CEO of OnRobot. “The VGC10 is another great example of OnRobot’s mission to be the one-stop-shop for innovative, collaborative end-of-arm tooling that lets manufacturers focus on their application rather than the complexities of the robot.”
Another key feature is the presence of two independently controlled air channels that allow the VGC10 to act as a dual gripper – with pick-up and release in the same action – further increasing efficiency and reducing cycle time. The VGC10 can also be used with a single air channel for higher gripping performance.
