Vacuum Gripper for Palletising

The large-area vacuum gripper systems of the SPZ series set new standards with respect to flexible construction and application. The modular design is very popular with designers and users, since it permits the simple construction of individual gripper solutions from only a few standard components and modules. The series comprises the two basic versions SPZ-S und SPZ-M, which differ only in that the version SPZ-M has an additional mechanical gripper. These vacuum grippers are available ready for installation and use for all standard sizes of pallets and also, as special versions, for customer-specific pallets or other carriers. They can be used to lift complete layers of products or individual boxes or packages from a layer. The layer patterns and the box sizes may vary, providing there are no major differences in the box heights. The individual suction-pad modules FXC/FMC of the large-area vacuum grippers SPZ are also optionally available with suction surfaces made of hard-wearing and flexible special foam or with individual suction pads in any desired arrangement. SPZ weighs up to 250 kg and can lift a maximum load of 500 kg. Depending on the size of the system and the actions executed with it, the energy consumption for vacuum generation lies between 4 and 15 kW. The systems comply with degree of protection IP 65 and can thus be used in all areas and also in deep-freeze stockrooms (down to -28?C). These can be mounted on portal or industrial robots and can, as an option, be controlled with input/output signals from a field-bus node.
