What is a vacuum gripper?

A vacuum gripper uses suction to securely pick and move products, including cartons, sacks, and irregular items. The SMC ZGS Vacuum Gripper System delivers 2144 N lift force at -75 kPa vacuum level to handle mixed and unevenly filled goods across palletizing, depalletizing, and packaging applications.

How does the SMC ZGS vacuum gripper work?

The ZGS011PK-400240BS6-C1C10 uses a large 400 x 240 mm sponge suction area to adapt to uneven surfaces and grip irregular loads. Its integrated ejector, valves, and pressure switch create and control suction flow, which you can tune through modular ejector configurations to optimize cycle time.

What robots is the SMC ZGS compatible with?

The SMC ZGS mounts via ISO-9409-1-50-4-M6 flange and is compatible with Universal Robots, FANUC, Yaskawa, and Omron robot arms. Its lightweight 3.9 kg design fits both collaborative and industrial robots.

Can this vacuum gripper handle porous and irregular products?

Yes, the SMC ZGS is designed to handle porous, unevenly filled products and irregular goods across palletizing, depalletizing, packaging, and automation tasks. The large sponge suction area adapts to uneven surfaces and mixed SKUs.

What is the maximum operating temperature for the SMC ZGS?

The maximum ambient operating temperature for the SMC ZGS Vacuum Gripper System is 50 degrees Celsius.

How long does it take to install the SMC ZGS gripper?

Installation is fast because the all-in-one design integrates the ejector, valves, silencer, and pressure switch into a single unit. You connect one air supply, one electrical cable, and mount via the ISO-9409-1-50-4-M6 flange to your robot.

Vacuum Gripper versus Mechanical Gripper or Manual Handling:

The SMC ZGS is a pneumatic vacuum system designed for fast, adaptive gripping of mixed and irregular goods. Choose it over mechanical grippers or manual methods when you need to handle cartons, bags, and unevenly filled products on high-throughput palletizing and packaging lines.

For mixed SKUs and irregular shapes, the 400x240 mm sponge suction area grips varied load profiles without tooling changeover.
On collaborative or space-constrained cells, the 3.9 kg lightweight body and integrated ejector, valves, and silencer fit UR, FANUC, Yaskawa, and Omron robots with instant ISO-9409-1-50-4-M6 mounting.
For porous or unevenly filled products, modular ejector tuning optimizes cycle time while delivering 2144 N lift force at 75 kPa.
When pneumatic infrastructure is available, the all-in-one design eliminates separate component sourcing and reduces wiring complexity versus non-integrated vacuum systems.
