VGP20 Vacuum Gripper
The OnRobot VGP20 is an electric vacuum gripper for collaborative robots, designed for palletizing and material handling of boxes, cartons, and porous workpieces. It uses an integrated electric vacuum pump, eliminating the need for compressed air or external vacuum equipment. The VGP20 is intended for applications where payloads and box sizes vary and where fast deployment and simple integration are required.
Common uses include:
- Case and carton palletizing
- Handling porous or semi-porous packaging
- End-of-line packaging automation
- Collaborative robot palletizing cells without air supply
