GECKO Gripper

special adhesive technology with no-mark gripping inspired by nature

The gecko gripping technology was originally developed in the labs at NASA. From these lofty beginnings, the Gecko Gripper serves more earthbound purposes – carefully picking up smooth-surfaced items, or items with holes in their surface which cannot be picked up by a traditional vacuum gripper. The Gecko Gripper uses millions of micro-scaled fibrillar stalks that adhere to a surface using powerful van der Waals forces — the same way that geckos climb. Inspired by nature, the Gecko makes it possible to attach and lift any type of flat and smooth surfaces without compressed air or any external power, using easy gripping technology for Pick & Place applications. Since the Gecko does the lifting without compressed air or any other external power, it gives you a more efficient, cost-effective solution.

• No compressed air requirement saves maintenance costs and provides faster payback in as little as 5 months.
• Precise, no-mark gripper technology increases productivity in pick-and-place tasks.
• Innovative gecko technology enables gripping of flat, porous objects such as PCBs to extend automation capabilities
