Schmalz
Modular pneumatic vacuum gripper kit with 75 components, suction cups, and ejector for rapid prototyping and reconfigurable end-of-arm tooling on collaborative robots.
The Schmalz PXT STARTERKIT is an industrial pneumatic vacuum gripper kit from Schmalz, designed for engineers and automation integrators to build adaptable robot vacuum gripper systems for flexible material handling tasks in small batch production, prototyping, and test environments.
Assembly is simplified with standardized connectors, making the kit suitable for changing production requirements, frequent part swap-over, and prototype builds. One longitudinal beam and four suction plates allow for diverse gripper spider configurations, handling a variety of workpiece shapes without dedicated custom tooling. Quick reconfiguration reduces setup time and cost compared to fully custom vacuum gripper systems.
Designed for use in pneumatic vacuum gripper, pick-and-place, and material handling automation, the PXT STARTERKIT suits automation cells, test labs, and flexible manufacturing lines. Both central and decentralized mounting support compatibility with most collaborative and industrial robot arms, adapting to different workspace constraints. For more options, see related vacuum grippers, suction cups, and ejectors.
Number of components: 75 in total.
Compared to fixed vacuum gripper assemblies, the Schmalz PXT STARTERKIT reduces setup time, supports rapid reconfiguration, and offers a higher number of included components, lowering the total cost for factories with changing workflow requirements or special project needs.
The modular aluminum beam ensures low weight with high rigidity for robot arm payload constraints. Suited for use with industrial robots in environments requiring frequent end-of-arm tooling changes. Real-world applications include material handling, prototype cell builds, and automated lab setups by manufacturing engineers and solution providers.
Choose this starter kit when you need to reconfigure grippers frequently or prototype before committing to custom tooling. The 75 modular parts, aluminum beam, and quick-swap suction plates let you build and adapt without machining or long lead times.
