Gripper systems

Thursday, 17 April, 2008 | Supplied by: PIAB Vacuum Technologies


The VGS series of products comprises three gripper system sizes: 2010, 3010 and 5010. Each system utilises an integrated COAX cartridge, designed to position vacuum power precisely where it's needed, making maximum use of energy and increasing speed by eliminating line losses and inefficiencies. The compatible suction cups are Duraflex and of varying sizes, ensuring a strong and reliable seal on difficult-to-handle materials like plastic bags and cardboard boxes.
With varying levels of vacuum flow, the units provide a range of flexible material handling solutions that reduce energy consumption, have faster response times and improve reliability. The VGS series is suitable for applications throughout the whole production line, like pick-and-place, injection moulding, packaging and palletising.
The VGS series can be utilised in each step of the manufacturing process to improve efficiency. Providing the lowest level of vacuum flow, the VGS 2010 is suitable for high-speed handling of small, leak-free or non-porous materials, such as blister packs in pick-and-place applications.
The carton erecting process is improved with the VGS 3010, which provides a flexible design that eliminates the need for multiple end effectors. This enables quick and easy changeover and reduces down time when handling different shapes and sizes, such as materials removed from an injection moulder.
For challenging applications like handling porous materials such as cardboard, carton and bag handling, the VGS 5010 provides maximum vacuum flow, compensating for air leakage and can be mounted directly onto large Duraflex suction cups for a more decentralised solution.
