Schmalz end-of-arm tooling kits from AutomationDirect can be customized for vacuum pick and place

AutomationDirect offers end-of-arm tooling components for robot arm vacuum pick-and-place applications. Components can be purchased individually or in kits that include everything needed to create a single-beam or dual-beam end-of-arm tool.

Kits include structural rails (which support an optional internal vacuum), connectors, cup mounts, vacuum tubing, vacuum cups, fittings, a basic ejector, a flange for a Universal robot, and a blank robot flange. The user cuts the structural rails to the desired lengths, determines the location of the suction cups, assembles the unit, and adds the compatible robot interface flange or drills one using the included blank robot flange.
