With robot tool mounts and connectors, these vacuum lifters come ready to attach to robot arms with standard ISO mounting hole patterns. Use them with compressed air to grip, lift, and move items with curves, angles, and varied heights. Also known as venturi devices, they generate suction without an installed vacuum system. If you don't see your robot model number listed, measure the bolt circle diameter to determine mounting compatibility.

Lifters and lifters with cups have two arms with vacuum cup connections. You can adjust the width of the arms to handle large items as well as tilt them to better grip uneven shapes. You can even remove an arm for applications that require only one cup. All of these lifters have a digital display for viewing the status of the lifter and controlling the vacuum. They’re protected from dust and water splashes. Lifters don’t include cups. Add vacuum cups that meet your specific needs. Lifters with cups include eight silicone and polyurethane rubber cups with different sizes and number of bellows. Cups with more bellows are better for handling items that have more variations in shape.

Lifters with a foam pad have an EPDM foam pad that’s soft enough to conform to items without damaging them. They’re best for delicate surfaces as well as porous surfaces where cups cannot obtain an airtight grip. They are not protected from dust and water splashes. Those with a sensor communicate the grip position of your lifter to a controller. They have LED status indicators, so you can quickly see the status of the lifters.

Lifters with PNP signal output communicate proximity with a positive signal, while those with NPN signal output send a negative signal.

UR+ certified lifters have been tested and approved to work seamlessly with Universal Robots (UR) arms. Plug the included software directly into your teach pendant to program the lifter.

Choose lifters with an additional port if you’d like to add a pressure transmitter (not included). Your transmitter will convert air pressure to an electrical signal for viewing air measurements on remote displays and programmable logic controllers (PLCs).

Optional sensors can be added to lifters with a foam pad for communicating the grip position to a controller. They require an A-code micro M12 power cord (sold separately).

Warning: Never use to lift people or items over people.

These large-surface lifters come with software, robot tool mounts, and connectors for quick setup and use with FANUC CRX robot arms. Using compressed air through multiple suction ports, they lift larger and heavier items than standard vacuum lifters. Also known as venturi devices, they generate suction without an installed vacuum system. To view data and adjust settings in a smartphone app, hold a phone that can read near-field communication (NFC) up to one of the NFC tags on these lifters. A digital display lets you read measurements while standing next to them.

These lifters have an IP40 rating, meaning that they keep out objects 1 mm or larger—such as wire—to protect their inner parts. They also meet ISO/TS 15066—with no pinch points or sharp edges, you can safely use them on robots that will be near people.

Lifters with cups grip irregularly shaped items better than lifters with a pad.

Lifters with a pad are better at lifting porous items than lifters with cups, and are also less likely to damage delicate surfaces.

Warning: Never use to lift people or items over people.

A solenoid automatically starts and stops flow so lubrication is dispensed only while equipment is running. When wired to a machine’s on/off switch, the solenoid remains closed until the machine is turned on. Turn the dial on the valve to adjust the flow of oil through the brush. Dispensers can be used with any oil grade. Flow rate depends on temperature.

Flip the lever to start and stop the flow of oil through the brush; turn the dial to adjust flow. Dispensers can be used with any oil grade. Flow rate depends on temperature.
