Case #1
Case #2
Case #3
Where:
l
m = mass (kg)
l
g = gravitational acceleration (m/s
2
)
l
a = robot acceleration (m/s
2
)
l
µ = friction coefficient
l
S = safety factor
The maximum grip strength of the suction cup must always be bigger than the payload (F
p
> F
c
) to guarantee the good grip of the
piece. Robotiq recommends a minimum security factor of 2 in every case. However, a factor 4 is recommended for the next
situations:
l
Low friction coefficient
l
Important robot acceleration
l
Non-uniform surface
l
Porous surface
l
Unequal distribution of the payload in regards to the suction cups
Two categories of material can be lifted by the vacuum gripper: porous and non-porous. A non-porous material is defined as a
material where air leakages are negligible and where it is possible to precisely attain a vacuum percentage between 10 and 80%.
