A core element of the Schmalz portfolio for lightweight robotics are the electric vacuum generators – intelligent and independent from compressed air vacuum pumps with integrated interface for gripper and robot connection. They are suitable for air-tight and slightly porous workpieces. Since the vacuum is generated without compressed air and the associated tubing, the lightweight robot remains mobile and flexible.
Pneumatic vacuum generators, so-called ejectors, are operated via a compressed air line. They have a higher suction capacity than the electric vacuum pump and can therefore also handle porous workpieces. The ejectors are particularly small, compact and powerful. Schmalz offers a wide range of pneumatic vacuum generators for other applications.
