The OnRobot product range features a wide assortment of tools and software for collaborative applications, including electric, vacuum, and magnetic grippers, the award-winning Gecko gripping technology, force/torque sensors, a 2.5D vision system, screwdriver, sander kits and tool changers.
The story of OnRobot goes back to 2011 and was founded under the company name Perception Robotics. It was based on a gecko-inspired gripper for handling large, flat objects.
In 2014 the design of innovative cable-free gripper begins, as well as developing the software and user interface for the RG2 gripper.
In 2015 OnRobot founded with RG2 and RG6 plug-and-play electric grippers.
In 2016 substantial investments was received from private investors and The Danish Growth Fund. The distribution network expanded to Asia, North America and Oceania, and in 2017 and 2018 offices was established in the US, Malaysia and Germany. The distribution network expands to over 100 distributors in more than 40 countries.
In June 2018 the Gecko Gripper wins coveted Innovation and Entrepreneurship Award (IERA) at the 50th International Symposium on Robotics in Munich. Furthermore, OnRobot A/S established from merger of three innovative end-of-arm tooling companies – On Robot, OptoForce and Perception Robotics – to facilitate the ongoing growth of collaborative robotics.
In the beginning of 2019, the RG2-FT gripper and the Gecko Gripper become commercially available worldwide. In April the Gecko Gripper also wins the prestigious Robotics Award from Hannover Messe and takes silver in the Edison Awards. The following September is the developing of OnRobot One-System Solution, which is a new mechanical and electrical interface for any OnRobot EOAT. In November the One-System Solution wins gold in Leap Award. The year ends with the launching of the new small, lightweight electric vacuum gripper VGC10.
In February 2020 the 3-finger electrical gripper with large stroke for handling a wide range of cylindrical objects is launched. During the rest of the year OnRobot launches several products. The products launched was food-grade-certified OnRobot Soft Gripper, OnRobot Eyes, which is a 2.5D vision system, complete plug-and-play intelligent Screwdriver, Out-of-the-box robotic sanding tool, and OnRobot 2FG7 parallel gripper. In December 2020 the year ends with the very first OnRobot virtual global event on collaborative automation.
In February 2021 OnRobot releases the world’s most powerful electric vacuum gripper, VGP20. Later this year MG10, the intelligent magnetic gripper, launched, as well as the platform Learned launched, which is a free learning platform which brings collaborative applications know-how to all. In November the first remote production monitoring and diagnostic software for collaborative applications released called WebLytics.
In January 2022 2FGP20 electric gripper for palletizing and slip sheet handling was released. Later, the new 7th axis robot elevator was launched.
