• Lightweight design: Weighs only 0.33 kg, enabling payload optimization and faster cycle times for cobots.
• Distributed suction cells: Features 16 suction cells for consistent holding force and secure gripping, even with partially covered surfaces.
• Compact form factor: Designed for direct mounting to robots using ISO 9409 connection patterns.

Specifications:

• Weight: 0.33 kg
• Holding force: up to 78 N (at -200 mbar vacuum level)
• Contact area: 80 mm x 120 mm with 16 suction cells
• Mounting interface: ISO 9409 for direct connection to most cobot brands

Applications:

• Electronics assembly: Reliable handling of circuit boards and display panels with flat surfaces.
