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.

Nion: Next-level time-of-flight
The new Nion 3D camera advances Time-of-Flight (ToF) technology with exceptional resolution, speed, and industrial robustness. Designed for demanding applications such as logistics, warehousing, industrial automation, and robotics, Nion delivers high-resolution depth data with real-time performance for faster, safer, and more flexible operations. At its core is the 1.2-megapixel Time-of-Flight sensor AF0130 from onsemi's Hyperlux ID family, offering up to four times the resolution of conventional VGA-based ToF cameras and significantly higher data density. Active 940-nm laser illumination ensures accurate and stable measurements in low-light conditions, artificial lighting, and even direct sunlight. With an IP67-rated housing, Nion is built for reliable operation in dusty, wet, and thermally challenging industrial environments. A user-friendly API with IDS peak support and compliance with the GigE Vision standard enable fast integration and flexible deployment in high-resolution 3D applications. The Nion 3D camera is now available from IDS Imaging Development Systems.
