Configure PXT gripper by yourself now

Putting together a gripper requires good programmers and gripper know-how. Schmalz combines both and programmed a new configurator for its modular gripper system PXT. This includes four different connection technologies, connection elements and flange types as well as two different pipes that are variable in length. The flexible system enables individual gripper solutions and simplifies the automation of various handling processes with lightweight robots.

The PXT configurator significantly simplifies the path to an individual gripper - both for users from the mechanical and plant engineering sector and for the sales department of the Black Forest vacuum expert. With the help of the web-based application, the user simply, comprehensibly and quickly combines a functioning system from the basic components. There is no need for time-consuming job design. After just a few clicks, one sees a digital version of the desired gripper and can integrate its CAD data directly into one's system project planning.

The PXT configurator allows projects to be saved or shared and, in addition to the CAD data, provides a detailed description of the gripper as well as a price overview. The final offer is then prepared personally by Schmalz Sales. The quality remains high despite the accelerated process and the resulting faster delivery. At the same time, the self-service concept creates capacity for complex customer applications that require intensive and personal consultation by Schmalz sales professionals.

This is not the first time that the vacuum expert has let the users take the mouse in their hands and design their desired product themselves. Following the option of creating the SLG lightweight gripper online, the PXT configurator expands the range of digital services. And Schmalz promises that more will follow.
