OnRobot
OnRobot is a Danish-based company that develops and produces electric end-of-arm tooling (EOAT) for collaborative robots.. The company was founded in 2015 and has since become a leading provider of EOAT solutions for cobots, offering a wide range of grippers, sensors, and other accessories.
OnRobot’s products are designed to enable cobots to perform a variety of tasks, from packaging and palletizing to assembly and machine tending. Their products are compatible with a range of cobot brands, including Universal Robots.
OnRobot is headquartered in Odense, Denmark, and has offices and distributors in over 50 countries worldwide. The company has received several awards and accolades for its innovative products and has been recognized as a leader in the cobot market.
OnRobot make it easy to deploy collaborative automation on tasks such as packaging, quality control, materials handling, machine tending, assembly, and surface finishing, regardless of skill levels or previous robotics experiences.
One of OnRobot’s flagship products is the RG2 gripper, a flexible, two-finger gripper that can handle objects of varying sizes and shapes. The gripper can be programmed to apply different levels of force, making it suitable for handling delicate objects as well as heavier items.
OnRobot has also developed a range of sensors and vision systems that can be integrated with cobots to enhance their capabilities. For example, the company’s force-torque sensor can enable cobots to perform force-sensitive tasks, such as inserting components into tight spaces or applying consistent pressure when sanding or polishing.
Collaborative automation has levelled the playing field for small and mid-sized manufactures. As robots become easier to buy and implement, the tooling has become the vital element in adapting a wide range of gripper requirements. These include include electric, vacuum, and magnetic grippers, force/ torque sensors, a 2.5D vision system, screwdriving and sanding kits. Palletizing solution and tool changers are also available.
