This clever innovation takes the already very successful configurable Magic Cup and offers it coupled directly to a carefully measured vacuum source, resulting in a tailored gripper, specific to the project’s demands. Handling: pre-packed items, bags, boxes, bottles, jars, films, foils, foods, glass, steel, wood or laminates.
The Magic Gripper only evacuates vacuum between the built-in vacuum cartridge to the cup face, giving an instant response once supplied with compressed air. The size of the gripper can be honed to the application so, it’s not wasteful with energy due to oversizing. Equally, when large flows are required, the body allows full bore flow through it with no restrictions associated with pipework and fittings.
Some systems need multiple points of contact and cups. Each Magic Gripper generates its own vacuum and works independently, so a cup failure or poor contact from one cup doesn’t compromise other cups. For a complete end of arm solution, a dedicated aluminium extrusion not only presents the gripper, it also acts as an air distribution manifold – further reducing the requirement for fittings and simplifying installation.
