2 Product Description
Functional Principle
The products are lifted by the area gripping system using a vacuum. The gripper is variable and can be
configured individually according to customer requirements. It can be used to lift layers of boards, planks
or similar workpieces/products of various sizes without adapting the suction area to the specific work-
piece.
Each individual suction cell in the system is equipped with a check valve that automatically closes the
suction cell when it is not in use.
The system achieves its maximum load capacity when the complete suction area is engaged with an
airtight workpiece with a smooth surface. The load capacity is strongly influenced by the type of work-
piece (e.g. surface, porosity, size) and the condition of the gripper or the suction elements (dirt, wear,
etc.).
The automated handling system to which the system was attached by the customer is responsible for
motion in the various axes.
Description of Functions: Valve Technology SVK
There are valves with sliders/balls in the valve plate (see Section 2.2 - G). If they are not covered by a
workpiece in the moment that suction begins, the sliders/balls will close the valve. For this reason, suc-
tion may only be switched on after the gripper is placed onto the workpiece.
The closed valves (B) create an increased vacuum in the gripper which results in increased holding
force on the opening valves. The sliders are held in position by a retaining element (C); the retaining
element can be removed for slider maintenance.
Max. acceleration in vertical direction: 2 m/s².
Only switch on suction when the gripper is placed on the workpiece.
It is not possible to provide additional suction or pick up other products later.
