OnRobot :: Plug-And-Play Tools That Simplify Robot Integration, Reduce Engineering Time & Enable Flexible Plug-And-Play Tools That Simplify Robot Integration, Reduce Engineering Time, And Enable Flexible Automation

OnRobot is a Danish robotics company founded in 2015 (through the merger of several specialized end-of-arm tooling companies) and headquartered in Odense, Denmark. The company has rapidly become a global leader in end-of-arm tooling (EOAT) for collaborative robots (cobots) and light industrial robots. OnRobot develops intelligent, plug-and-play tools that simplify robot integration, reduce engineering time, and enable flexible automation for small-to-medium manufacturers. With a strong focus on “One System, Zero Complexity,” their solutions allow users to control multiple tools through a single interface and support major robot brands including Universal Robots, Techman, Doosan, ABB, KUKA, and Fanuc.

OnRobot’s tools are designed for high-mix, low-volume production environments where traditional automation is too rigid or expensive. The company emphasizes safety (compliant with ISO 10218-2 and ISO/TS 15066), ease of use, and rapid deployment, helping manufacturers reduce setup time from weeks to hours. Their products are used in assembly, pick-and-place, machine tending, quality inspection, packaging, surface finishing, and material handling across industries such as electronics, automotive, food & beverage, pharmaceuticals, and logistics.

Key robot-based products include:

• Grippers: A wide range including the RG2 and RG6 parallel grippers (with built-in force and distance sensing), VG10 and VGP20 vacuum grippers, 3FG15 three-finger gripper for cylindrical and irregular objects, 2FG7 and 2FG20 parallel grippers, and the Soft Gripper for delicate or irregularly shaped items (e.g., food or textiles).
• Screwdrivers: The Screwdriver and Screwdriver Lite for precise, automated screwdriving with torque control, screw length detection, and safety features to prevent human injury.
• Sanders & Polishers: The Sander tool for automated surface finishing with consistent pressure control and dust extraction.
• Force/Torque Sensors: The HEX series 6-axis force/torque sensors for advanced force-controlled applications such as polishing, deburring, assembly, and quality testing.
• Tool Changers and Accessories: Quick tool changers and mounting kits that enable seamless switching between tools on a single robot.

OnRobot offers a Robotics-as-a-Service (RaaS) model in some markets and continues to expand its ecosystem with new tools, software updates, and global support. Their solutions help manufacturers achieve faster ROI, higher flexibility, and improved safety while addressing labor shortages.
