suction grippers, Vacuum grippers equipped with suction cups

These grippers equipped with vacuum suction cups permit grabbing and lifting objects with flat, very irregular, structured or flexible surfaces. As examples, these would primarily include sheet materials, products packed in foil, blister packaging or thin cardboard.

In addition, they can be used to grip items when their positioning is not precisely defined or their dimensions vary.

Bellows are best suited for the above-mentioned applications, as they cling perfectly to virtually any surface thanks to their enormous flexibility. The spring elements additionally mounted between the metal supports and vacuum cups ensure that they follow any contours or movements during the lifting process, thereby ensuring a secure grip at all times. ¬¬¬

The plug-in suction cups are mounted on standardised fittings and can be replaced quickly and easily when worn out. These vacuum-cup supports can generally be configured for any type of suction cups – depending on the requirements of the respective applications. This reduces the costs for engineering as well as for maintenance.

Benefits:

- Low tare weight, thereby facilitating lower energy consumption for the robots involved, less wear and minimal maintenance

- Robust construction

- Safe and stable handling

- Gentle gripping of materials
