    Attach threaded vacuum cups to robot arms for simple pick-and-place applications. These mounts have push-to-connect inlets on the side, so you don’t need additional fittings. Use them to connect tubing from vacuum pumps or venturi devices. Once connected, vacuum will flow directly into your vacuum cup so your arm can pick up objects. They include the hardware you need to connect them to robot arms.

    Lengthen your robot arm’s reach for access to the far side of wide conveyors and the bottom of deep containers. These extensions use standard ISO mounting patterns, so they’re compatible with most robot arms and tools, such as those made by FANUC and Universal Robots (UR). They include mounting hardware to connect them to your robot arm, but you'll need to provide your own fasteners to attach your robot tools.

    Equip your collaborative robot with all it needs to lift bottles and other items with complex shapes. These lifters have a flexible balloon-like cup that conforms to the sharp curves, angles, and uneven surfaces of items that other vacuum lifters may struggle to pick up. Made of Buna-N, the cup resists oil and abrasion. It works for most lifting, including packaging and material handling. A rubber cushion inside the cup protects lifted items from damage if they hit the housing. The cup is held in place with stainless steel spring bands. Slip them off to replace a worn cup.
    These lifters come with a robot arm mount, vacuum generator, and power cord for a quick, easy setup. Use the mount to bolt them directly to your robot arm. The cord plugs right into your robot arm for power and control. Because the suction is generated by electricity, there’s no need for compressed air or air control valves. You can configure digital inputs and outputs in your robot’s control program to turn suction on and off.
    Lifters with Buna-N Cups
    Maximum Weight Capacity—Maximum weight capacity is achieved only when lifting smooth, nonporous surfaces, such as glass and sheet metal. Materials like cardboard leak air when lifted, which may reduce your lifter’s capacity.

    Vacuum Lifter Accessory and Replacement Parts

    Robot-Ready Vacuum Lifters

    Give your collaborative robot arm the power to lift with suction created from compressed air. These lifters come with everything you need, including a robot arm mount, vacuum generator, and power cord. Setup is simple and seamless: use the mount to attach these lifters to your robot arm, then connect the air supply and power cord. Because they have integrated air control valves, you can turn suction on and off with your robot’s control program. Often used in packaging, palletizing, and material handling, they can grip everything from cardboard boxes and bagged screws to raw materials.

    4 Cups

    Lifters with cups are the best choice for most lifting. Made of plastic and rubber, the cups are more durable and last longer than foam pads. Move the cups along the rails to position suction right where you need it.
    Connect these lifters directly to the port at the end of your robot arm for power and control. An integrated vacuum switch tells your robot when an item is picked up, so it can move to the next location. They come with tubing, fittings, and cups.
    4 Cups—Vacuum lifters with 4 cups give you more stability than those with 2 cups when lifting items with large surfaces, such as cardboard boxes or glass.
    For Universal Robots Robot Arms—Lifters for Universal Robots arms are UR+ certified, so they’ve been tested to work seamlessly with your robot. For simple integration with your teach pendant software, download the URCap plug-in from the manufacturer’s website.
    Maximum Weight Capacity—Maximum weight capacity is achieved only when lifting items with smooth, nonporous surfaces, such as glass and sheet metal. Materials like cardboard leak air when lifted, which reduces your lifter’s capacity. For instance, you can lift about 10% of the maximum capacity when using lifters with cups on a cardboard box similar to those we ship our parts in. When using lifters with pads, you can lift about 40% of the maximum capacity in the same scenario.

    Lifters with pads are the best choice for lifting items with uneven surfaces, such as wood and coarse plastic. Made of foam, the pads compress around bumps, grooves, and other textures to maintain a tight seal. They are also soft enough to lift delicate items without damaging them.
    For FANUC Robot Arms—Lifters for FANUC arms come with a 3 m long cord that connects to your robot controller for power and control.
    For Universal Robots Robot Arms—Lifters for Universal Robots arms connect directly to the port at the end of your robot arm for power and control. They also have an integrated sensor that communicates vacuum levels. Your robot program can use this data to confirm that an item has been picked up. These lifters are UR+ certified, so they’ve been tested to work seamlessly with your robot. For simple integration with your teach pendant software, download the URCap plug-in from the manufacturer’s website.
    30 mm Pad Height—Choose lifters with a 30 mm pad height for lifting very curved or textured items. The thicker pad conforms better to uneven surfaces to maintain the seal you need for suction.
    Maximum Weight Capacity—Maximum weight capacity is achieved only when lifting items with smooth, nonporous surfaces, such as glass and sheet metal. Materials like cardboard leak air when lifted, which reduces your lifter’s capacity. For instance, you can lift about 10% of the maximum capacity when using lifters with cups on a cardboard box similar to those we ship our parts in. When using lifters with pads, you can lift about 40% of the maximum capacity in the same scenario.

    Everything you need to build a custom vacuum lifter for your collaborative robot—including rails, connecting hardware, vacuum cups, air hose, robot arm mount, and vacuum generator, also called a venturi device. Whether you’re picking and placing stamped sheet metal, molded plastic, or cardboard boxes, this system gives you the freedom to position vacuum cups where you need them. Go from concept to ready-to-lift in minutes—you’ll need only simple tools for assembly. Build a custom frame with the aluminum rails—you can cut them down to size and join them together with the included connectors. Place the vacuum cups anywhere along your frame.
    Hooking these lifters up to your robot arm is simple too. Use the included mount to bolt them right to the end of your robot arm. All that’s left is to plug the power cord into your robot arm and hook the lifter up to your compressed air line.
    These lifters have integrated air control valves, so you can use your robot’s control program to turn suction on or off via digital inputs and outputs. A built-in vacuum switch tells your robot when an item is picked up, so it knows to move to the next location.
    For Universal Robots Robot Arms—Lifters for Universal Robots (UR) arms are UR+ certified, so they’ve been tested to work seamlessly with your robot. For simple integration with your teach pendant software, download the URCap plug-in from the manufacturer’s website.
