Robot-Ready Vacuum Lifters for Large Surfaces

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.

Robot-Ready Electric Vacuum Lifters

Attach these lifters to FANUC CRX or Universal Robots collaborative robots. They handle items up to 3.5 times heavier than our lifters for lightweight items. Because they use electricity to pick up and move items with suction, there’s no need for compressed air or air control valves. They don’t have pinch points or sharp edges, so they help you meet ISO/TS 15066 international safety standards for people working near robots.

Often used in packaging, palletizing, and material handling, these lifters can grip everything from cardboard boxes to bags of screws. With soft rubber cups, they’re less likely than pick-and-place grippers to damage glass, thin plastic, and other delicate objects. To install, plug the cord into your robot arm. It carries both power and control signals.

Vacuum Lifters

These lifters include a robot tool mount, vacuum generator, quick-change cup mount, vacuum cup assembly, extra vacuum cup, and cord. Use the quick-change cup mount to swap in other vacuum cup assemblies (sold separately).

Once installed, use your robot program to turn suction on or off. An integrated vacuum switch tells your robot when an item is picked up, so it can move to the next location. View and adjust vacuum levels and other settings with an onboard screen and keypad.

Lifters for FANUC CRX arms are FANUC approved and 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 FANUC and URCap plug-ins from the manufacturer’s website.

Maximum weight capacity is achieved only when lifting items with smooth, nonporous surfaces, such as those made from glass and sheet metal. Materials like cardboard leak air when lifted, which reduces your lifter’s capacity. For instance, you can lift about 25% of the maximum capacity when using these lifters on a cardboard box similar to those we ship our parts in.

Robot-Ready Electric Vacuum Lifters for Lightweight Items

Made for FANUC CRX and Universal Robots collaborative robots, these lifters use suction to pick up and move lightweight items, up to 6 lbs. They run on electricity, so you don’t need compressed air or air valves. Often used in packaging, palletizing, and material handling, these lifters can grip everything from small cardboard boxes to bagged screws. With soft rubber cups, they’re less likely than pick-and-place grippers to damage glass, thin plastic, and other delicate materials. They’re also simple to set up—a single cord supplies both power and control to your robot arm. They help you meet ISO/TS 15066 international safety standards for people working near robots because there are no pinch points or sharp edges.

Vacuum Lifters

These lifters include a vacuum generator with a robot mount, a cord, and two types of vacuum cups. Use the flat cup for items with level surfaces and the single-bellows cup for gripping tilted items or items of different heights. You can also use your own vacuum cup if it has a compatible 1/4 BSPP threaded connection. For large items, items that might break if lifted from a single point, or material with uneven weight distribution, use 2-, 3-, or 4-cup assemblies (sold separately).

Once you’ve installed these lifters, use your robot program to turn suction on or off. An integrated vacuum switch tells your robot when an item is picked up, so it knows when to move to the next location. Adjust the vacuum level using the arrow keys on the lifter body. These lifters achieve maximum weight capacity only when handling items with smooth, nonporous surfaces, such as glass or sheet metal.
