Danish Robot Equipment Company OnRobot Acquires Purple Robotics
ODENSE, Denmark — Purple Robotics, which developed the world’s first gripper specifically for cobots, has now been acquired by OnRobot. The acquisition takes place two months after the OnRobot merger of three robotics companies from the United States, Hungary and Denmark that created one global player with a focus on the market for industrial robot accessories.
Now, OnRobot adds another technology to the product mix. With the acquisition of Purple Robotics, OnRobot can now offer its partners the world’s first dual vacuum gripper. The gripper attracted international robot industry attention when the inventors presented it in June at Automatica, the world’s largest robotics fair.
