Online configuration
Gripper at the click of a mouse
With the SLG, Schmalz has developed a system for various handling tasks that users can configure individually online without any prior knowledge. Schmalz developed the digital platform for this together with the software company Trinckle 3D from Berlin.
At the beginning, the user defines the handling task. In addition to various predefined workpieces, they can upload their own objects - whether cubic, angular or with free-form surfaces. They then start the configuration of the appropriate gripper. The tool guides the user intuitively through the various design steps, allowing them to select the number, diameter and type of suction cups from the Schmalz Select range. The intelligent software takes care of positioning the suction cups, or the user can determine the position and angle of the suction points themselves. Finally, the user selects the appropriate flange insert and the desired vacuum generation. Once all components and parameters have been defined, the customer receives a CAD model and a quote for their gripping solution. Additive manufacturing technology is the key to cost-efficient and fast individual part production. Adapted to lightweight robots and cobots, the solution can hold loads weighing up to ten kilograms. as
