Eurotech: Still just under three figures: Nesting with 999 bellows suction cups
If many parts have to be sawn, laser-cut or punched out of a panel and then separated, manual removal of the individual parts is often time-consuming. This task can be made easy with vacuum technology. For use in a nesting system, Eurotech has developed a special-sized suction box from the eT-Gripper product family that works in combination with a robot. The suction box built for a furniture manufacturer and glass processor is used on a robot. The robot removes a complete layer of cut furniture components from a nesting system and places them ready for sorting and further processing. Thanks to the bellows suction cups, the eT-Gripper is able to separate a wide variety of shapes from the ten to twelve millimeter thick chipboard. Even larger parts are no problem for the suction box, as it has dimensions of 800 x 2400 millimetres. A total of 999 BSC 32 E bellows suction cups were installed.
