2.2.3 Vacuum module
Vacuum generator
The vacuum module has an integrated vacuum generator that is designed with a
maximum payload of 150 g. The actual payload capacity depends on the following
factors:
• Suction tool design and the choice of suction cups
• The surface structure of the object being picked
• The pickup point and the CoG of the object being picked
• Robot motion while the object is picked
• Air pressure input to the robot
Vacuum pressure sensor
The air pressure of the vacuum module can be monitored in real time using an
in-built vacuum sensor. This makes it possible to detect whether the object is
correctly picked up by the suction tool.
Blow-off actuator
To minimize cycle time and ensure accurate drop-off of the picked objects, a
blow-off actuator is integrated in the vacuum module.
