Will the SMC ZXP-X1 work with my Universal Robot cobot?

The SMC ZXP-X1 mounts directly to Universal Robots via the ISO 9409-1-50-4-M6 flange and is UR+ certified with plug-and-play URCaps compatibility. It also works with other collaborative robots that have the same ISO flange interface.

How much weight can this vacuum gripper hold?

The ZXP-X1 holds a maximum payload of 7 kg at 84 kPa negative pressure. It draws 17 L/min for rapid pickup cycles.

How do I set up the ZXP-X1 vacuum gripper?

Mount the gripper to your robot arm using the ISO flange, connect a single pneumatic tube for compressed air, and attach an M8 connector for electrical signals. Configure your choice of 1, 2, or 4 suction cup pads based on your workpiece type.

What surfaces can this vacuum gripper handle?

The ZXP-X1 can grip flat, curved, and delicate surfaces with interchangeable suction cup configurations. You can choose 1, 2, or 4 cup pads and replace them easily without removing the entire unit.

Is the ZXP-X1 lightweight enough for cobot arms?

The gripper weighs only 0.84 kg, minimizing wrist load and moment on cobot arms. This makes it suitable for space-restricted or mobile robotic setups.

Compact vacuum gripper for collaborative robots that combines integrated ejector, valves, and pressure sensor in one sealed unit. Generates 84 kPa vacuum and 17 L/min flow to grip payloads up to 7 kg. Modular suction pads adapt to flat, curved, porous, and delicate parts. UR+ certified with ISO 9409-1-50-4-M6 mount for Universal Robots and compatible cobots. Weighs 0.84 kg and connects with a single compressed air tube and M8 electrical connector. Ideal for pick-and-place, packaging, assembly, and small-parts handling in confined robotic cells.

SMC ZXP-X1 Vacuum Gripper 7kg UR+ Certified Cobot End Effector for Universal Robots:

SMC ZXP-X1 is a pneumatic vacuum gripper designed for Universal Robots and other collaborative robots, suitable for automated pick-and-place, packaging, laboratory automation, and parts handling applications.

Maximum payload: 7 kg
Vacuum pressure: up to 84 kPa
Suction flow: 17 L/min
ISO 9409-1-50-4-M6 mounting interface
Unit weight: 0.84 kg

Features and Integration:

The ZXP-X1 combines integrated vacuum generation, valves, sensors, and configurable suction pads within a compact, lightweight end effector unit. Installation for Universal Robots is streamlined via UR+ certification, plug-and-play URCaps compatibility, and ISO flange mounting. Only compressed air and an M8 cable are required for setup, allowing rapid deployment for robot vacuum gripper users. Multiple cup configurations, one, two, or four cups, adapt to various workpieces including flat, curved, and porous items. Pads are modular for easy replacement and adaptation across material types.

Comparative Advantages:

Plug-and-play cobot gripper and UR+ certification reduce installation time compared to traditional vacuum systems requiring external pumps
Compact pneumatic end effector minimizes moment load, ideal for cobot arms in space-restricted or mobile setups
Flexible suction cup system accommodates many shapes and surfaces

Compatibility:

SMC ZXP-X1 mounts directly to collaborative robots from Universal Robots and other models featuring the ISO 9409-1-50-4-M6 interface. Model number ZXP7A01-ZP25BN-X1 is available from SMC and distributors, factory stocked.

Installation Guide:

Mount gripper using ISO flange on robot arm
Connect compressed air supply to pneumatic tube
Attach M8 cable for electrical interface
Install provided connector, flange, and protective cover
Configure pad arrangement for specific workpiece requirements

Maintenance Overview:

Periodic cleaning and inspection of suction pads maintain long-term reliability
Modular pad system allows quick replacement and adjustment without full unit removal

Manufacturer Credentials and Certification:

SMC, a global leader in pneumatic automation technology, manufactures the ZXP-X1 Series vacuum grippers. UR+ certification verifies compatibility and performance with Universal Robots (see UR+ listing).

Vacuum grippers versus mechanical finger grippers and external pump systems:

The SMC ZXP-X1 is a self-contained vacuum gripper built for collaborative robots, eliminating the need for separate vacuum pumps or complex plumbing. Choose it over mechanical parallel grippers or external vacuum systems when handling fragile, flat, or irregular surfaces.

For delicate parts like glass, films, or electronics, the soft suction pads grip without marking or damage, whereas finger grippers can crush or scratch.
On tight cobot work cells, the integrated ejector and 0.84 kg weight free arm payload and floor space compared to external pump-and-manifold setups.
For high-throughput pick-and-place on flat or slightly curved surfaces, the 17 L/min flow rate and modular 1, 2, or 4 cup configurations adapt quickly between batches without tool changeover.
When rapid deployment matters, UR+ certification and plug-and-play URCaps eliminate wiring harnesses and programming, reducing setup time versus traditional vacuum systems.
On porous or textured workpieces, cup pads conform and seal where mechanical fingers cannot grip reliably.
