Selection by Workpiece

There follow some examples of applications to assist selection of the appropriate special grippers:

Workpiece	Schmalz Special Gripper
Workpiece	Product	Product Properties
Solar components such as wafers and solar cells	Floating suction cups SBS	Low-contact handling Integrated vacuum generation
	Wafer grippers SWGm	Extremely fast and precise handling Integrated vacuum generation with high suction rate Product dimensions especially for wafer sizes 125x125 mm and 156x156 mm
Thin workpieces such as paper and foils	Floating suction cups SBS	Low-contact handling Integrated vacuum generation Absorption of lateral forces by elastomer buffer on the underside Separation function during destacking
Complex steel parts such as perforated sheets and laser cut metal	Magnetic grippers SGM	Handling by means of a permanent magnet Absorption of lateral forces by friction ring
Delicate components such as printed circuit boards	Floating suction cups SBS	Low-contact handling Integrated vacuum generation High leakage compensation
Battery components such as anodes, cathodes and separators	Composite grippers SCG	Integrated vacuum generation Higher volume flow for a secure grip on even porous workpieces Large contact surface for delicate handling
Unstable and porous workpieces such as foam and insulation materials	Needle grippers SNG	Needle grippers with variable needle stroke that can be adjusted for individual workpiece geometries
Fabrics that are unstable or have a "suck through" effect such as composites	Composite grippers SCG	Integrated vacuum generation High volume flow for a secure grip on even porous workpieces Large contact surface for delicate handling
	Needle grippers SNG	SNG needle gripper with variable needle stroke for individual adaptation to different workpiece geometries
