Robot Grippers Made-to-Measure
Schmalz individually designs vacuum suction spiders for your application needs. The vacuum suction spiders have been designed according to a modular principle. All versions of the vacuum suction spider are derived from the basic design which can be flexibly optimized for complex handling tasks. Our experienced system consultants also use individual vacuum components from our broad range of products.
We would be happy to help you design your gripper system. From the project planning and design stages all the way through to the day your product starts operation - we will be with you all the way.

Design
The figure shows the basic design of the suction spider SSP. On request, individual configurations with many extensions are possible.
(1) Vacuum valve Pneumatic interface
(2) Terminal box Electronic interface
(3) Flange connection Mechanical interface for common robots and gantries
(4) Mounting sections Used as load beam and vacuum distributor
(5) Flexible suspension Spring-mounted connection suitable for workpieces with height differences
(6) Gripping system (FMP/FXP) with suction cups For handling uneven and non-rigid workpieces
(7) Gripping system (SBX-C) with foam For handling heavy and rough workpieces
(8) Grippers with different gripping principles For handling a wide range of workpieces (e.g. magnetic grippers for handling perforated plates or needle grippers for CFRP materials)
The vacuum suction spider SSP was designed according to a modular principle. All versions of the vacuum suction spider are derived from the basic design. They can be flexibly optimized using various extensions for complex handling tasks.

Plug & Play-function
Electrical terminal box with multi-pin connection plugs enables quick and easy installation
Schmalz has added the SSG string gripper to its product range for the photovoltaic process chain and presents a modular gripping system especially for handling PV strings. On the one hand, marks and damage to cells have to be avoided, and on the other hand, factors such as leakage, uneven surfaces and different surface characteristics make handling delicate workpieces more difficult.
