FIPA: Custom Vacuum Gripper for Cases and Layers

Mounted on a Z-axis for vertical lift capabilities, a custom vacuum gripper based on the supplier’s TC Series handles individual boxes and whole layers— regardless of the position and size—without changing grippers or wasting vacuum flow. The system efficiently handles filled, variable size cardboard boxes (weighing up to 66 pounds) to and from shipping crates and roller conveyors. Featuring custom integrated valves capable of turning off suction openings that don’t come into direct contact with a package, the system conserves energy and mitigates operating costs.
