Gripper construction kit
Preconfigured starter sets
With the PXT, Schmalz launched a new option for individual grippers on the market last year.
The vacuum expert now offers two starter sets for a direct and quick entry into the world of gripper construction. They include basic equipment with holders, connections and four or six suction pads for building individual gripper systems with a single or double main beam. Always included are flange inserts for common lightweight robots and an efficient ejector for vacuum generation.
The starter kit also serves as a basis for more complex systems later on, as users can simply add further components from the extensive PXT modular system to the grippers. Like all grippers based on the modular system, the PXT Starter Kit 2-6 and PXT Starter Kit 1-4 variants can carry a maximum of 25 kg. Thanks to their low overall height, the starter kit grippers have sufficient freedom of movement even in confined spaces.
