Vacuum Suction Spider SSP

Robot Grippers Made-to-Measure

Schmalz individually designs vacuum suction spiders for your application needs. The vacuum suction spiders have been designed according to a modular principle. All versions of the vacuum suction spider are derived from the basic design which can be flexibly optimized for complex handling tasks. Our experienced system consultants also use individual vacuum components from our broad range of products.

Application

• Automation of handling tasks in manufacturing assembly and quality control processes
• Linking robots in presses and bending centers
• Automating plastic injection molding machines, deep drawing machines, machining centers for wood and plastics, water jet machines, laser machines and punching machines
• Order picking in storage and distribution centers on industrial robots or gantries
• Handling of metal sections, blanks, stone, sheet materials, car body parts, glass and ceramic components, etc.

Your Benefits

• Modular system with standardized and harmonized components
• Flexible adaption to customer-specific requirements
• Combination of different gripping technologies (vacuum, mechanics, magnetics etc.) possible
• Low intrinsic weight due to basic components made of aluminium, steel pipe and plastics
• Minimization of cycle times
• Enhanced process safety due to integrated system monitoring and sensor technology
• Intelligent valve modules for unused suction cups

Design
The figure shows the basic design of the suction spider SSP. On request, individual configurations with many extensions are possible.

   

Modular System of Vacuum Suction Spiders SSP
The vacuum suction spider SSP was designed according to a modular principle. All versions of the vacuum suction spider are derived from the basic design. They can be flexibly optimized using various



Innovative Expansion Options
Vacuum suction spiders from Schmalz can be custom configured.

Sensor unit
Optimization of cycle times and increased process safety due to vacuum detection and parts control

Energy saving version
Reduced energy consumption due to workpiece and process dependent regulation of the vacuum generator

Separation function
Safe separation of porous workpieces such as chipboards

Peeling unit
Reliable separation of smooth and airtight workpieces such as sheets of glass

Plug & Play-function
Electrical terminal box with multi-pin connection plugs enables quick and easy installation




String Gripper SSG
Schmalz has added the SSG string gripper to its product range for the photovoltaic process chain and presents a modular gripping system especially for handling PV strings. On the one hand, marks and damage to cells have to be avoided, and on the other hand, factors such as leakage, uneven surfaces and different surface characteristics make handling delicate workpieces more difficult.
