It is not only slim, but also efficient: Schmalz optimally matches the suction grid, gripper dimensions and all other components to the handling task, thus minimizing the power required for vacuum generation.Depending on the model and manufacturer, lightweight robots have a payload of up to 25 kilograms. In order to use them for layer-by-layer palletizing and depalletizing, J. Schmalz GmbH has given its layer grippers a diet. The result is the particularly lightweight layer gripper ZLW, which lifts up to 20 kilograms while weighing only between four and 7.5 kilograms, depending on its size. This leaves the robot with enough payload for the actual handling task.The ZLW extends the SPZ series of layer gripping systems downwards and can grip several open, hollow or closed objects such as jars, cans or cardboard boxes with different dimensions simultaneously. It compensates for height differences in the workpiece layer with an optionally available spring-loaded flange. In addition, Schmalz configures the lightweight gripper individually: The user receives an efficient complete system with components that are matched to each other and to the task. The vacuum generator is also dimensioned so that it does not require more power than is necessary for process reliability. But this is not the only thing that increases the efficiency of the handling process: the new layer gripper also indirectly helps to keep the CO2 footprint low: Smaller robots require less power and thus support sustainable automation - for example in production feeding, automated warehousing or end-of-line palletizing.Schmalz has deliberately kept the design slim: The sealing element is optionally equipped with individual plug-in suction cups or a sealing foam. A frame connects these to the honeycomb plate, on which a pressure relief valve, the vacuum switch VSi and the flange are mounted. The vacuum generator stands separately.

In 2022, Josko generated a turnover of 215 million euros with over 1,000 employees. At its headquarters in Kopfing im Innkreis, Upper Austria, Josko today produces wood, plastics/aluminum and aluminum windows, house and interior doors on 39,000 square meters.Before the Schmalz solution was introduced, it was a challenge for Josko employees to move the heavy interior door panles. The door panels, which weighed up to 100 kilograms, could not be handled by one person alone, and handling them with two people was physically too strenuous. Although Josko already had manual handling solutions in place to handle this heavy work, there were no spare parts available for the ageing turning device on the sanding machine, so Josko was looking for an overall solution to reduce the workload and increase the level of automation in production at the same time.The new system is designed to reduce the workload on our specialists and increase the degree of automation.Instead of the old turning device on the sanding machine, Josko has introduced a new system consisting of two KUKA robots and the WEBER KSF sanding machine. The first robot picks up a door blank from the stack and places it on a conveyor belt in front of the sanding machine. The door leaf is fed through the machine to calibrate and sand the surface. The second robot then picks up the processed blank and places it on a rack. The first robot picks it up again, turns the door leaf and takes it back to the sanding machine to process the other half. The robots are circuitried with SPZ suction spiders from Schmalz, which ensure a safe grip of the door leaves. These suction spiders are specially tailored to Josko's requirements and are designed to provide optimum gripping surfaces for the door paneld while being light enough to enable fast movements. The suction spiders are based on the FMP-S gripping system with sealing foam. This gripping system is particularly suitable for heavy and rough workpieces and the sealing foam ensures a safe seal and a firm grip without damaging the workpiece. Vacuum generation takes place via a connector to the compressed air network and is controlled by valves. Thanks to the integrated system monitoring and sensor technology, the suction spiders operate with absolute process reliability. With the gripping solution from Schmalz, around 70 to 80 door panels are moved per day in an eight-hour shift, without the employees having to perform strenuous activities such as moving the heavy elements.
