The Schmalz PXT STARTERKIT is a pneumatic vacuum gripper assembly kit that includes up to 75 modular components for building adaptable end-of-arm tooling.
The kit provides one longitudinal beam and four suction plates, along with SPB1-50 suction cups and an SBP-HV basic ejector for vacuum generation.
These components enable engineers to construct gripper spiders for a variety of handling tasks across different workpiece geometries.
The aluminum beam elements form compact, rigid frame structures while maintaining low weight.
Standardized connectors streamline initial assembly and allow for quick reconfiguration as application requirements change.
Both central and decentralized flange mounting are supported, offering flexibility in mounting to different robotic platforms and workspace constraints.
Maximum ambient operating temperature is 50°C.
This kit is well-suited for automation integrators developing new solutions, testing environments where gripper configurations must be validated, small batch production runs, and applications requiring frequent changeover between part types.
The modular design allows prototyping and scaling of vacuum-based pick-and-place systems without investing in dedicated custom tooling upfront.
