VGP30 Vacuum Gripper
The OnRobot VGP30 is an electric vacuum gripper for collaborative robots, designed for palletizing and handling boxes, cartons, and porous materials. It combines a high-flow electric vacuum pump with configurable suction cups, allowing palletizing without compressed air or external vacuum equipment. The VGP30 is intended for palletizing and material handling applications where box sizes, weights, or surface conditions vary and fast changeovers are required.
Common uses include:
- Case and carton palletizing
- Handling porous or semi-porous packaging
- End-of-line packaging automation
- Applications where compressed air is not available
Note: A combination of the below options are included with your purchase depending on the model selected:
- 1x robot side quick changer
- 1x tool mounting flange
- 1x cabling kit
- 1x robot kit (The robot kit is required for Ethernet IP communication and software updates for all OnRobot tooling.)
