Adhesive technology for applications where other solutions don't work

The OnRobot Gecko Gripper uses nature-inspired, adhesion-based technology to handle flat, smooth, or perforated objects without damaging them. It is one of the few solutions capable of reliably handling challenging surfaces such as PCBs, glass, or perforated materials.

No residue and no cleaning required

A real advantage is that it leaves no marks, not even on glossy surfaces. In many processes, this completely eliminates the cleaning step, which means less time wasted and fewer variables in the process.

True plug-and-play

The Gecko Gripper requires no power supply, compressed air, or complex integration. Beyond the marketing hype, this is truly a simple solution that can be quickly installed and used without any programming effort. For small or medium-sized applications, that matters more than it might seem.

Compact and efficient in tight spaces

Its single-pad design makes it suitable for applications where access is difficult. In compact cells or laboratory applications, this type of gripper can solve problems that conventional solutions cannot address effectively.

Where it makes sense

  • Handling of PCBs and perforated materials
  • pick-and-place for glass or glossy surfaces
  • applications where traces or contamination are not permitted
  • compact systems where space is limited
