Gecko Single Pad Gripper

Modern automation often struggles with delicate, shiny, or perforated parts. Therefore, traditional vacuum or mechanical gripping systems are not always suitable. The OnRobot Gecko Single Pad Gripper solves this challenge with innovative adhesive technology designed for precision handling in compact spaces.

Because of its simplicity and flexibility, it integrates easily with Universal Robots cobots, enabling efficient pick and place automation across a wide range of industries.

Compact Design for Tight Automation Spaces

The Gecko Single Pad Gripper is designed with a compact, lightweight structure. Therefore, it can operate in tight or restricted environments where larger grippers cannot fit.

Its single pad design improves accessibility to workpieces from multiple angles. This makes it ideal for small scale automation cells and precision handling tasks.

Manufacturers can automate processes that were previously difficult or impossible.

No Mark Gripping for Sensitive Surfaces

Surface quality is critical in many industries. The Gecko Single Pad Gripper is designed to handle delicate materials without leaving marks or damage.

It can grip shiny, smooth, or reflective surfaces without the need for post handling cleaning. This eliminates additional production steps and reduces processing time.

Because of this no mark capability, productivity is improved and waste is reduced.

Innovative Adhesive Technology Inspired by Nature

The Gecko Single Pad Gripper uses advanced adhesive technology inspired by gecko foot mechanics. It can securely hold objects using micro level adhesion forces.

This technology allows it to grip flat, smooth, and even perforated surfaces such as printed circuit boards and metal meshes.

Because of this natural inspiration, it delivers strong and reliable gripping performance without traditional suction or mechanical force.

Plug and Play Operation Without Air or Power

One of the key advantages of the Gecko Single Pad Gripper is its simplicity. It does not require compressed air, electrical wiring, or complex setup.

It operates as a true plug and play solution, making installation fast and cost effective.

Because of this design, businesses can reduce infrastructure requirements and lower installation costs.

Flexible Payload Options for Different Applications

The Gecko Single Pad Gripper is available in three versions. It can support different payload requirements depending on application needs.

These include SP1, SP3, and SP5 models, which handle payloads of 1 kg, 3 kg, and 5 kg respectively.

This range allows manufacturers to select the most suitable option for their specific process.

Because of this flexibility, the gripper can be used across multiple automation tasks.

Ideal for Flat, Smooth, and Perforated Parts

The Gecko Single Pad Gripper is highly versatile. Therefore, it can handle a wide variety of part types that are difficult for traditional grippers.

It can securely grip flat, smooth, and even perforated components such as aluminium sheets, gaskets, and circuit boards.

It expands automation potential across electronics, automotive, and manufacturing industries.

Easy Integration with Universal Robots

The Gecko Single Pad Gripper is designed for seamless compatibility with Universal Robots cobots. It can be quickly integrated into existing automation systems.

Pre integrated software allows for simple setup and configuration without advanced programming skills.

Because of this ease of use, deployment time is reduced and operational efficiency is improved.

No Programming or Complex Setup Required

Ease of use is a key feature of the Gecko Single Pad Gripper. Operators can install and configure it quickly without technical expertise.

Its intuitive design reduces training requirements and simplifies deployment across production lines.

Automation becomes more accessible to a wider range of businesses.

Improve Efficiency and Reduce Production Steps

Traditional gripping systems often require additional cleaning or handling steps. They increase production time and cost.

The Gecko Single Pad Gripper eliminates these extra steps by providing clean, no mark handling. This improves overall process efficiency and reduces cycle time.

Because of this streamlined operation, manufacturers can increase output while reducing waste.

Expand Automation Possibilities

Many automation systems are limited by part shape or surface type. They cannot handle all production requirements.

The Gecko Single Pad Gripper overcomes this limitation by enabling reliable gripping of complex and delicate surfaces. It supports previously unautomatable processes.

Because of this capability, manufacturers can expand their automation scope significantly.

Reliable Performance in Demanding Applications

The Gecko Single Pad Gripper delivers consistent performance across a wide range of applications. It is suitable for both high precision and general handling tasks.

In addition, its stable gripping force ensures reliable operation even during continuous production cycles.

Due to this reliability, production quality remains consistent over time.

Future Ready End of Arm Tooling

The Gecko Single Pad Gripper represents a new generation of adhesive gripping technology. It supports modern automation strategies focused on flexibility and efficiency.

Its compatibility with cobot systems ensures long term usability as production needs evolve.

Because of this adaptability, it remains a strong investment for future automation projects.

If your business needs a smart, simple, and highly versatile gripping solution, the Gecko Single Pad Gripper offers a powerful and future ready option for modern cobot automation.
