Vacuum suction pads
Handling of sacks, cardboard boxes and packaging
At vacuum expert Schmalz, everything at Logimat 2024 will revolve around handling solutions for bags, cardboard boxes and other packaging. The grippers and ergonomic lifting aids support skilled workers and robots with picking and transfer tasks.
The new PSSG sack suction pad is suitable for handling paper, plastic and fabric sacks. It can also pick up other porous and bag-like workpieces. The lightweight housing made of glass fiber-reinforced plastic closes with a sealing element made of FDA-compliant silicone or wear-resistant NBR. The PSSG can therefore be used in many industries. In addition to automated processes, it also demonstrates its strengths in manual handling on the Jumboflex tube lifter. A filter fleece protects the system from contamination, while the adjustable support grid prevents bag packaging from being pulled in too tightly and thus possible damage to the workpiece.
Handling different workpieces
The Schmalz Application Assistant (SAA) digitalization tool is available for the Jumboflex. It records the hose lifter's operating data and informs users about the degree of contamination of the filter, for example. This allows them to plan maintenance in advance.
Schmalz presents the FSGC bellows suction pad for handling workpieces with different contours. The round gripper with 4.5 folds lifts packaged goods in logistics centers and supports the transfer of cardboard boxes, shipping bags, paper and plastic bags. Thanks to the flexible sealing lip and the increased stroke, it adapts to structured surfaces. The FMG matrix area gripper is also included. Schmalz has linked seven modules, each with twelve suction cups, to form a flexible surface. The 84 suction points can be controlled individually. This allows the FMG to automatically pick up workpieces with varying geometries.
Schmalz accelerates picking with the Ivos Pick and Pack Solution Kit. The specific solution package was developed for integrators and machine builders to set up bin-picking applications. The solution recognizes each workpiece, selects the suitable gripper with the appropriate gripping strategy and picks the load. Users configure the system directly via the graphical interface.
