Robot-Ready Configurable Vacuum Lifters

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.

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 20% of the maximum capacity when using these lifters on a cardboard box similar to those we ship our parts in.

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.

Lifters with HDPE/TPE Cups

Shown with Robot Arm (Not Included)

2 Cups

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.
