Gecko Single Pad Gripper

The Gecko Single Pad Gripper brings the innovative Gecko adhesive gripper technology to small-footprint applications that were previously impossible to automate. The gecko-inspired adhesive technology offers precise, no-mark gripping, even for perforated items such as circuit boards or for shiny surfaces, without the cleaning process.

• Compact, lightweight Gecko Single Pad Gripper requires no cables, electricity, air, or programming for cost-effective, plug-and-play performance
• Innovative adhesive gripper for flat, smooth, or perforated objects automates tasks that were previously not possible
• No-mark gripping even for shiny surfaces – cleaning step is not required, saving time and improving productivity

When starting a new robot automation project, In-Position Technologies engineers begin by reviewing the essential requirements to determine the optimum accessories need for the robot to perform the job. They perform all necessary engineering assessments to make sure the robot and its accessories perform as required, within customer specifications, and without unnecessary cost. They will also recommend the appropriate controllers, vacuum source, power supply, and sensor that fit the application.

This includes:

• Payload, reach, speed, cycle time, and repeatability requirement
• Ensuring compatibility with the current system
• Specifying the appropriate feedback device (sensors, vision system, torque sensor)
• Verifying mounting compatibility, form factor checks, etc.
• Ensuring all necessary auxiliary equipment are also specified

When ordering the Gecko Single Pad Gripper as a part of a full system, IP Tech engineers review the solution to ensure:

• All parts and fittings necessary for a complete working solution are included
• All components have been checked and verified to work together as a system
• The selected components will perform as required by the project specifications
