In the world of robotic palletising, the choice of end-of-arm tooling is as crucial as selecting the robot itself. SMC has unveiled the ZGP Vacuum Gripper, designed to streamline palletising and depalletising processes. This innovative tool enhances efficiency by integrating the ejector, valves, silencer, and pressure switch into a single, compact unit.

The ZGP Vacuum Gripper simplifies installation and maintenance while ensuring seamless integration with collaborative robots. It is particularly effective for handling cardboard boxes, cartons, packaging, flat products, and various logistics applications. The gripper’s all-in-one design reduces installation time and provides easy maintenance. With optional IO-Link diagnostics and energy-efficient vacuum generation, it represents an excellent choice for modern end-of-line automation systems.

Whether firms are constructing their first palletising cell or upgrading existing automation systems, the ZGP offers a tailored gripping solution. LC Automation Ltd provides expert technical support to help specify the appropriate equipment for individual applications.
