2 FlexGripper-Vacuum2.2.2. Vacuum rails3HAC040633-002 Revision: -242.2.2. Vacuum railsThe two rails, which measure 1200 mm, consist of two beam plates mounted with vacuumunits and photoelectric sensors (see figure 2.2). Each beam plate is equipped with ten vacuumunits, which support two vacuum cups with a pitch of 60 mm each which generate thevacuum. Photoelectric sensors are installed to detect if the products lift correctly.The FlexGripper-Vacuum picks up the products using vacuum cups. The compressed air (4-6 bar) is fed into a valve unit from the main inlet air cable. The 20 vacuum units are thenconnected to the valve unit with 10 air cables.The net height of the vacuum cups is designed to be higher than the beam plates. The vacuumcups lift the products up until the upper-surface of the products touch with the plates. In thisway, the beam plates along with suction cups on the FlexGripper significantly reduce thetendency of pendulum effects.en1011009Figure 2.2 Vacuum railsPos Part DescriptionA Vacuum generators 2 x 10B Vacuum unitsC PhotoelectricsensorTotally five sensors are installed on the FlexGripperby default.
