Schmalz FQE Xc Robotic Vacuum Gripper

Schmalz

$3,095.00

Compact area vacuum gripper with built-in vacuum generation for collaborative and small industrial robots. Handles flat and slightly contoured parts with multi-cell suction that maintains grip even with partial workpiece coverage. Weighs 0.85 kg and mounts directly to robot without external pumps or tubing.

Schmalz FQE Xc Area Vacuum Gripper for Collaborative Robots:

Schmalz FQE Xc Robotic Vacuum Gripper is a compact area vacuum gripper designed for flexible automation tasks with collaborative or small industrial robots, suitable for material handling and assembly applications in automotive, electronics, and food packaging industries.

Key Features and Specifications:

  • Integrated vacuum generation eliminates external pumps and tubing, streamlining robotic vacuum gripper assembly.
  • Lightweight design: 0.85 kg enables deployment on robots with limited payload.
  • Gripper dimensions: 300 mm x 130 mm footprint with SW80 mounting interface.
  • Multiple suction cells provide distributed gripping force for flat and slightly contoured workpieces.

Performance and Compatibility:

  • Reliable vacuum gripping for a variety of materials including plastic, metal, glass, and cardboard within standard temperature ranges for collaborative robot tooling.
  • Ready-to-connect format for rapid installation, supporting integration with Schmalz, Universal Robots, and other collaborative robot families.
  • Suitable for tight workspace layouts and payload-restricted environments.

Application Scenarios:

  • Automotive parts handling in assembly lines.
  • Electronics assembly with pick-and-place of circuit boards and components.
  • Food packaging operations requiring hygienic, non-marking vacuum gripper surfaces.
  • Handling flat or slightly contoured workpieces with up to 0.85 kg mounting weight.

Collaboration and Mounting Details:

Schmalz FQE Xc is engineered for direct mounting to collaborative robots and smaller industrial robots. The compact vacuum gripper accepts SW80 robot flanges and is compatible with a range of end effectors. Multiple suction cups support consistent loading even when only part of the gripper surface is covered by the workpiece, aiding cycle efficiency and material flexibility.

Yes, the Schmalz FQE Xc is designed for collaborative robots and smaller industrial robots, with ready-to-connect support for Schmalz, Universal Robots, and other collaborative platforms. It uses an SW80 mounting interface for quick setup.
The FQE Xc weighs only 0.85 kg, making it suitable for payload-limited collaborative robots and tight workspace environments. Its lightweight design enables deployment on robots with restricted payload capacity.
The Schmalz FQE Xc handles plastic, metal, glass, and cardboard within standard temperature ranges. Multiple suction cells provide distributed gripping force for flat and lightly contoured parts.
No, the Schmalz FQE Xc has built-in vacuum generation that eliminates the need for external pumps and tubing, simplifying robot integration and setup.
The gripper has a 300 mm x 130 mm footprint with an SW80 mounting interface, designed to fit tight workspaces and assembly-line constraints while enabling quick mounting to collaborative robots.

Vacuum gripper with built-in pump versus external vacuum systems:

Choose the Schmalz FQE Xc when you need a self-contained vacuum gripper that eliminates external pump complexity. At 0.85 kg, it fits payload-constrained collaborative robots where traditional pneumatic or pump-fed grippers consume too much weight or workspace.

  • For cobot cells with tight payload budgets, the lightweight design frees capacity for heavier workpieces or additional tooling.
  • On assembly lines where compact footprint matters, the 300 mm x 130 mm form factor fits confined workspaces without sacrificing grip area.
  • For handling flat and lightly contoured parts in automotive, electronics, or food packaging, multiple suction cells deliver consistent contact even with partial surface coverage.
  • On materials ranging from plastic and metal to glass and cardboard, the ready-to-connect design integrates directly with Universal Robots and Schmalz platforms without external plumbing or adapters.
