The Vacuum System and its Components

Vacuum systems are used as grippers in automated applications. Customers benefit from the comprehensive component program of Schmalz, the vacuum specialist, when designing a vacuum system.

(1) Vacuum suction cups or Special grippers

Interface between vacuum system and workpiece

(2) Mounting elements

Fast and flexible connection of vacuum components to tooling systems

(3) Vacuum generators

Centralized or decentralized vacuum generation by meand of ejectors, pumps or blowers

(4) Switches and system monitoring

Measuring and control components ensure safe operation of the vacuum system

(5) Filters and connectors

Filters protect the vacuum generator; hoses and connectors connect the components

(5) Valve technology

Valves are used to control the vacuum as well as the compressed air (decentralized or centralized)

Vacuum Suction Cups

Vacuum suction cups are the link between the workpiece and the handling system. They consist of the suction cup (elastomer part) and a connecting element.

Special Grippers

Special grippers are used in applications in which regular suction cups cannot be used.

Mounting Elements

Schmalz offers a broad product range of mounting elements to integrate grippers (suction cups or special grippers) into gripping systems.

Vacuum Generators

Vacuum generators provide the required vacuum. Choose between pneumatic or electrical vacuum generators from Schmalz.

Switches and System Monitoring

Devices for system monitoring are important for the safe operation of a vacuum system. Schmalz offers measuring as well as control components for this purpose.

Filters and Connectors

Vacuum systems are protected by the use of filters. The filters protect against contamination.

Valve Technology

Valves are used to control vacuum as well as compressed air. They can increase process safety in vacuum gripping systems.

Area grippers and Vacuum End Effectors

The Schmalz area grippers are used in various robot applications due to their lightweight design.

Approach to System Design

The implementation from theory to practice is shown with a system design based on an example.
