OnRobot Introduces the VGP30: Highest-Payload Vacuum Gripper for Enhanced Collaborative Automation

The release marks OnRobot's highest payload gripper to date, with intelligent control and seamless integration for palletizing and handling

OnRobot, a leading provider of hardware and software solutions for collaborative applications, today announced the release of its new VGP30 vacuum gripper. This powerful and robust 30 kg (66 lbs.) payload gripper is designed to excel at palletizing boxes and handling irregular shapes and porous surfaces, even those constructed from cost-saving, thinner cardboard. The VGP30 is ready for immediate deployment out of the box and includes all the hardware and software needed for all leading robot brands.

"With its high payload capacity, intelligent vacuum control, and seamless integration, the VGP30 enables users to automate demanding palletizing tasks with ease, reduce energy costs, and achieve same-day installation."

"The VGP30 is engineered to maximize manufacturers' throughput and flexibility," says Enrico Krog Iversen, CEO of OnRobot. "With its high payload capacity, intelligent vacuum control, and seamless integration, the VGP30 enables users to automate demanding palletizing tasks with ease, reduce energy costs, and achieve same-day installation."

Thomas Lorenscheit, CEO of OnRobot partner Lorenscheit Automatisierungstechnik, emphasizes the vacuum gripping of the VGP30: "It's incredibly strong, - and as easy to use as any other OnRobot gripper," he says, adding how finding one reliable gripper for palletizing different types of cardboard boxes has always been a challenge. "The VGP30 stands out by delivering consistently high performance, whether we're handling premium or lower-grade cardboard."

Key features and benefits of the VGP30:

High Payload: Capable of handling up to 30 kg (66 lbs.).
Immediate Deployment: Ready to use out of the box, including all necessary hardware and software for seamless integration with all leading robot brands.
Intelligent Vacuum Control: Automatically adjusts to any box size or interlayer, optimizing air consumption and reducing energy costs.
Multichannel Capability: Provides failsafe and flexible operations. The VGP30 has two channels that can be operated together or independently, convenient for handling small boxes.
Seamless Integration with D:PLOY: The VGP30 seamlessly integrates with OnRobot's D:PLOY platform, the first automatic software development platform that enables the configuration of complete, off-the-shelf robotic systems for high-mix manufacturing applications.

This compact 3D camera series combines a very short working distance, a large field of view and a high depth of field - perfect for bin picking applications. With its ability to capture multiple objects over a large area, it can help robots empty containers more efficiently. Now available from IDS Imaging Development Systems. In the color version of the Ensenso B, the stereo system is equipped with two RGB image sensors. This saves additional sensors and reduces installation space and hardware costs. Now, you can also choose your model to be equipped with two 5 MP mono sensors, achieving impressively high spatial precision. With enhanced sharpness and accuracy, you can tackle applications where absolute precision is essential. The great strength of the Ensenso B lies in the very precise detection of objects at close range. It offers a wide field of view and an impressively high depth of field. This means that the area in which an object is in focus is unusually large. At a distance of 30 centimetres between the camera and the object, the Z-accuracy is approx. 0.1 millimetres. The maximum working distance is 2 meters. This 3D camera series complies with protection class IP65/67 and is ideal for use in industrial environments.
