Depending on the selected suction cup, the maximum grip strength can be determined with the following equation:
Where:
l
A= Suction cups internal surface (mm
2
)
l
P= Vacuum Level (kPa)
l
n= Quantity of suction cups to lift-off
For more details, please refer to the specifications provided by the suction cup manufacturer.
The payload is the mass to be lifted according to an acceleration and an applied safety factor. There are three main types of load
application that are represented in the following cases. Note that the arrows represent the robot movement.
