OnRobot Gecko Gripper

The Gecko Gripper uses gecko-inspired adhesive technology that allows flat, smooth, or even porous surfaces to be gripped securely and without leaving marks—without compressed air or an external power supply. This technology enables automation solutions in areas where conventional gripper their limits.

Adhesive technology instead of vacuum or compressed air
Grips objects without leaving marks—even on shiny or perforated surfaces.
Plug-and-play unit without additional infrastructure
No air supply, no additional cables – easy integration.
Three sizes for different payloads
Variants SP1, SP3, and SP5 cover payloads from approx. 1 kg to 5 kg.

Description

The Gecko Gripper enables automation where manual handling was previously required—for example, when handling circuit boards, aluminum fabrics, or high-gloss panels. Thanks to the adhesive technology, the workpiece is lifted without compressed air, which reduces operating costs, maintenance, and noise levels. The design is particularly compact and lightweight, making it suitable for applications with limited installation space. The mark-free gripping technology eliminates the need for subsequent cleaning of the workpiece when handling shiny materials. This combination of efficiency and flexibility makes the Gecko Gripper ideal for modern production environments with high automation requirements.
