V Gripping Systems

So why choose V-Gripping Systems?

Our V-Grip Systems can handle multiple processes. Whether it’s boxes or packaging, a pattern of products, a pallet or a layer sheet – resulting in an adaptable industrial robot, capable of multiple processes and disciplines and increasing the productivity and efficiency of your business.
Simmatic has found ever growing success within the food industry, mainly due to the difficult unpredictable nature of irregular shapes and sizes of food items and their packaging and different gauges of thin plastics or foils. We supply VMECA’s V-Grip Vacuum Solutions in a range of different sizes. Starting at 15mm in length going up to 1200mm (or longer on request) and offered with a choice of either application-specific vacuum cups or a sponge pad.

Did you know? V-Grips do not need to be completely covered, they will pick up by being partially covered. By reducing contact between materials and moving parts, you reduce the wear and tear of the system, consequently prolonging the lifespan of the machinery and therefore your investment. Using the right handling solutions not only increases the effectiveness of a business, it will also alleviate pressure from the team and reduce energy costs.
