FOAM VACUUM GRIPPERS,

Principles

• Foam grippers operate at a lower pressure, but higher flow than suction cups. The lifting capacity is generated by the larger surface in contact with the products.

• Suction cups generally require higher vacuum pressure with lower flow.

• The higher flow allows foam grippers to be less sensitive to contamination, porosity and irregular product geometry, than conventional suction cups.

The Advantages

• A significant air flow rate allows for the compensation of any residual leakage

• The foam adapts to irregularities in the thickness and shape of the products

• There is no need to change the settings when changing the configuration of the products to be lifted (number, shape, pallet, spacer, ...).

The foam gripper a multi-functional tool without adjustments, replacing several single-function EOATs on the same gripping hand.
