Intended Use
The gripper is used to lift and transport cardboard boxes or similar materials that allow suction.
Neutral gases in accordance with EN 983 are approved as evacuation media. Neutral gases in-
clude air, nitrogen and inert gases.
The device may only be used with robot systems that comply with the provisions of DIN IST/TS
15066, DIN EN ISO 10218-1 and DIN EN ISO 10218-2.
Operation as part of a collaborative system is only permitted when the entire system meets the
corresponding legal requirements for collaborative robot systems. The system integrator is re-
sponsible for ensuring that these requirements are complied with.
The possibilities to do this include:
- The use of redundant vacuum/compressed air generation
- The use of battery-operated audio-visual warning devices to monitor the input pressure and
vacuum value
- Safety-oriented vacuum generation and monitoring with a corresponding performance level
The system is mounted on the load suspension provided by the customer using the flanges desig-
nated for this purpose. The customer also provides a control device.
Functional Principle
The system uses vacuum to lift the defined products. The system can be used to lift one or more
cardboard boxes or similar workpieces of various sizes without adapting the suction area to the
specific workpiece.
The system achieves its maximum load-bearing capacity when the complete suction area is en-
gaged with an airtight workpiece with a smooth surface.
The robot system, to which the customer’s system was attached, is responsible for the motion in
the various axes.
When being applied to the workpiece, the foam must be compressed by at least
50%.
