Separation function

The separation function prevents several workpieces from sticking
to each other when destacking. Applying a compressed-air jet
through the sucked workpiece keeps the under-lying work piece
from being gripped. In this way, only one workpiece is picked up
and held.
The separation function is used for all porous workpieces such as
cardboard boxes, MDF or chipboards.
