The Pick&Place module is a universal, 2-axis handling
device. The module consists of high-precision slide units.
The end positions of the slide units are detected using
proximity sensors. The configuration of the proximity
sensors and their mounting positions and heights can be
adjusted.
A suction cup with bellows grips the workpieces. A vacuum
filter is attached directly to the suction cup to ensure that no
dirt particles can infiltrate the vacuum generator. A pressure
switch indicates when the workpieces are being gripped
securely.
The force of the vertical slide unit (Z-axis) can be adjusted by
means of a pressure regulator.
The module is supplied complete with slide units, vacuum
generator, vacuum filter, suction cup with bellows, pressure
switch, valve manifold, pressure regulator and electrical
interface.
