About

About OnRobot Soft Gripper

OnRobot Soft Gripper uses flexible silicone cups that deform around delicate and irregular products during pick-and-place operations. Three interchangeable cup sizes and star- or finger-shaped tools adapt the gripper to fruit, baked goods, cosmetics, pharmaceutical products and packaged items.

The food-grade-certified tool is supplied with OnRobot’s Quick Changer and software integration for supported robot brands. Flexible fingers distribute contact across the product and require no external compressed-air supply. Customers select the silicone configuration around object size, geometry and required payload.
