Vacuum Layer Gripper SPZ-M

Applications

• Palletizing/depalletizing of complete product layers


• Use in warehouse logistics and intralogistics


• A combination of vacuum technology and mechanical clamping is used for palletizing and depalletizing part-pallets


• Universal gripping system for handling intermediate layers, pallets, cardboard, boxes, film packaging, products in trays etc.


• Layering pattern with “chimneys” (gaps in the layering pattern)


• Products with removable and hinged lids


• Inhomogeneous products such as soft plastic bottles

Range of applications and workpieces

• Cardboard boxes, combipacks, bottles, cans, glass, foils, sacks, etc.


• Shrink wrapped goods (primary and secondary packaging)


• Packaged goods in trays (closed trays and trays open)


• Cooled and frozen goods


• Handling with and without intermediate layers


• Optional: intermediate layer separation

Technical data and construction data of layer gripping systems SPZ

The data of the layer gripping system SPZ varies according to the respective configuration depending on the numerous
types. The following table shows the most important features of the basic types of the layer gripping system SPZ.

Design

1. Vacuum connection (global vacuum)

2. Vacuum connection (suction area)

3. Mechanical clamping

4. Skirt

5. Sensor bracket for light barrier (optional)

Specifics of the design

• Vacuum layer gripping system with state-of-the-art valve and vacuum flow technology as well as modular gripper modules based on the tried and tested technology of the FXC/FMC series


• Mechanical gripping modules that can be controlled pneumatically or by an electric motor


• Modern construction optimized for weight and force according to FMEA (Failure Mode and Effect Analysis)


• Modular components for all conventional bus controllers


• Optional energy saving versions


• Vacuum connections (suction area and global vacuum chamber within the skirt) to generate the vacuum in both circuits

Large-area vacuum gripping system SPZ-M for handling liquid package

Liquid package are difficult to grip because of their surface. The Large-area vacuum gripping system SPZ-M works additional with a mechanical clamp for extra strength and stability. First, it grabbed the package by vacuum and then additional with the mechanical clamp. The layer gripper SPZ includes state-of-the-art valve and vacuum check valve technology, as well as modular gripper modules. Thereby he handel the liquid package fast, safety and cost-effective.
