Area Grippers

Not only uneven, textured surfaces, but also undefined pick-up positions and different dimensions are easily lifted with the VUSS large-area gripper, without having to change the suction feet. Whether in logistics, trade or industry, the VUSS (Vacuum Unit Sensing System) gripper enables workpieces to be sucked in by numerous small vacuum valves embedded in foam rubber plates - regardless of whether a pallet of tins is incomplete, wooden boards are only loosely stacked next to each other or each workpiece is a different size.

• Patented vacuum valve system consisting of a wide variety of valves
• Reduced energy consumption by up to 50
• High cycle rates
• Safe and stable lifting without loss of performance due to contamination
• Higher added value, measurable cost savings and shorter set-up times thanks to intelligent system solutions
• Lightweight design, e.g. to keep the acquisition costs of a robot as low as possible
• Suitable for automated use with robots and for manual operation by an employee

• Gentle transport without putting pressure on the objects. Therefore no damage to the surfaces.
• Flexibility - the system lifts different objects without reprogramming or changing tools, e.g. not only the workpiece, but also Euro pallets, cardboard as intermediate layers, etc. if required.
• Low overall height to enable efficient use even in narrow gantries.
• Modular design enables customised, application-specific vacuum gripping systems.

• Single or multiple workpieces or goods, even of different sizes
• Entire pallet layers, for stacking systems
• Workpieces with recesses and countersinks, e.g. rough sawn timber or perforated sheets
• Application in wood processing, metal industry, logistics, electronics, chemicals & pharmaceuticals
• Cartons, food, plastic, sheet metal, glass, cans, stacking systems, packaging and much more.
