Sealing Foams for Area Gripping Systems

Universal sealing element for handling different workpieces

Schmalz sealing foams are used on vacuum gripping systems from Schmalz such as the area gripping system FXP/FMP and the area gripping system FMHD as well as on grippers from other manufacturers. The advantage of sealing foams is that you can handle different workpieces with minimum leaks using the same gripper. This allows you to move workpieces with unevenness, roughness and gaps dynamically and efficiently.

Features at a glance:

  • Long service life, up to 10 times longer than competitive foams
  • Quick rising behavior
  • Little variation in the quality of technical properties throughout the service life
  • Easy to replace with no cleaning required for time savings of up to 90 percent

The right foam for your application

ZEL foam

Display glass, stainless-steel sheets, plastic

  • Polyurethane foam for special applications
  • Leaves very few marks. Only suitable for smooth workpieces due to the hardness of the material.

SI foam

Food logistics, plastics, glass

  • Silicone foam for special applications
  • Suitable for food packaging and increased temperature requirements

N foam

Glass, packaging, metal, plastic

  • Standard foam with skin formation
  • Excellently suited for mark-free handling and applications with increased demands on the chemical resistance of the foam

O foam

Wood, glass, packaging, logistics, metal, plastic

  • Skinless, universally applicable standard foam
  • Excellent sealing and spring-back properties for long service life and dynamic cycle times

Sandwich foam

Universal

  • Combination of different standard foams
  • By combining the technical properties of different standard foams, they can be optimized for the specific handling task. For example, a wear-resistant foam that is also suitable for very fast cycle times

SWG foam

Sacks, bags, stones

  • Natural rubber foam for special applications
  • Wear-resistant foam for handling sharp-edged and abrasive workpieces

Foam with SU protection

Display glass, electronics

  • Protective polyurethane layer for special applications

  • For handling workpieces with sensitive surfaces, electronic components and for avoiding marks. Suitable only for workpieces that are mostly smooth.

Foam with ESD protection

Display glass, electronics

  • Protective polyurethane layer for special applications

  • For handling workpieces with sensitive surfaces, electronic components and for avoiding marks. For damage-free and controlled dissipation of the stresses applied to the workpiece.
