Gecko Single Pad (SP) Gripper
Adhesive gripper technology for small-footprint applications
Compact, No-Mark Single Pad Adhesive Gripper
Inspired by the Gecko, OnRobot’s Gecko SP (Single Pad) Gripper is an adhesive gripper that adheres to flat, shiny, smooth, and perforated objects like circuit boards or aluminum mesh, making it possible to automate tasks that weren’t possible before. It’s silicone-based technology doesn’t mark surfaces, including high-shine surfaces, eliminating the cleaning step in some manufacturing processes.
The Gecko SP is compact, lightweight, and requires no cables, electricity, air, or programming, delivering cost-effective, plug-and-play performance. It’s ideal for smaller applications and lighter payloads and comes in three payloads of 1kg, 3kg, and 5 kg. With no electronics or air supply needed, the Gecko SP is a cost-effective, true plug-and-play solution. Seamless integration with the robot of your choice.
FEATURES:
- Gecko-inspired adhesive technology offers precise, no-mark gripping, even for perforated items such as circuit boards or for shiny surfaces
- Ability to lift a wide range of flat, smooth, shiny or perforated surfaces
- Compact, lightweight, and flexible design
- Allows easy access to workpieces, even in tight spaces.
- Available in three sizes and payloads: SP1(1kg), SP3 (3kg), SP5 (5kg)
- No electronics or air supply needed making the Gecko SP a cost-effective, true plug-and-play solution.
- Little or no programming required - even employees with no technical background can install and program.
- Powerful grips perforated workpieces such as circuit boards, aluminum mesh, head gaskets and more.
Effectiveness of Gecko Gripper on Different Materials
There are several factors that affect the Gecko gripper’s ability to handle items:
- The micro scale roughness of the surface (average roughness)
- The macro scale peaks and valleys on the surface (spatial frequency of peaks – also waviness)
- The orientation of these features (lay – or the way it was finished, like lapped, ground, Blanchard, etc.)
- Stiffness of the material.
- Green indicates that it is possible to pick this object
- Yellow is questionable
- Red does not result in a pick
