3.3.2
Sliding block strips
The t-slots are used for flexible mechanical attachment of the gripper using the sliding blocks. Suitable attachment kits
are listed in the “Accessories” section. The t-slots on the side offer the option of connecting sensors and additional
components.
3.3.3
Insert Element
The insert element was developed to optimize the flow and must not be removed, particularly when using the SVK
valve technology.
3.3.4
Valve film
The valve film is available as an SW film or an SVK film, each of which is available in suction row types 3R and 5R. This
plastic film allows the gripper to be quickly converted from the SW technology to the SVK technology.
The SVK valve technology is used for applications with very fast cycle times (e.g. benchmark for depositing of
workpieces with active blow-off pulse: approx. 0.3 sec.) The suction properties are also optimized for rough and
textured surfaces.
3.3.5
Area Gripper with Sealing Plate
The sealing plate is made of technical foam. The grid is available in 3R LL-20x7 (workpieces that are 25 mm or wider)
and 5R LL-12x5 (workpieces that are 20 mm or wider). The sealing plate has asymmetric holes and is designed for fast
replacement. An optional sealing plate with filter screen mat is available. This reduces the penetration of dirt and
extends the maintenance intervals.
Note on properties of sealing plates:
The technical properties and appearance of sealing plates may vary due to production conditions. The user is
responsible for testing whether a sealing plate is suitable for a specific application. We would be happy to assist you in
placing your first order by performing grip tests at our premises if you provide us with your original workpieces.
As the sealing plate height is also subject to tolerances, it is recommended that you check the height setting of the
gripper every time that the foam is replaced (50% foam compression before the workpiece is picked up is optimal).
This ensures that the gripper functions optimally and that the service life of the foam is not reduced.
This flexing makes the sealing plate more permeable to air. When a high number of working cycles is reached, it may
be necessary to replace the foam, even if there is no visible indication of wear. The sealing plate must not be cleaned
with the compressed air gun, as this will damage it.
3.3.6
Area Gripper with Suction Cups
Suction cup connection strip with plug-in suction cups
The main application of the area gripper with suction cups is picking up parts that are not rigid, such as some
cardboard boxes or bags. The strips with the suction cups are screwed to the main body. The suction cups are
available in diameters of 20 and 40 mm with 2.5 folds. An optional integrated filter plate is also available. The suction
cups can be replaced individually without tools.
Suction cup connection strip for screw-in suction cups
Optional suction cups with 1/8" connection nipples can be used for special applications.
