Will the SMC ZXPE5 work with my FANUC robot?

The SMC ZXPE5 Electric Vacuum Gripper is designed for FANUC CRX collaborative robots with plug-and-play M8 connectivity and ISO 9409-1-50-4-M6 tool flange mounting. It mounts using only two clamp screws for rapid installation.

How much weight can this gripper hold?

The SMC ZXPE5 delivers up to 5 N of gripping force for reliable handling of small to medium-sized parts. It works well for delicate surfaces and flexible workpieces in pick-and-place and palletizing applications.

Do I need an external air supply for this vacuum gripper?

No external air supply is needed because the SMC ZXPE5 has a built-in electric pump, vent valve, and pressure sensor integrated into the compact 0.556 kg unit. This eliminates installation complexity and reduces maintenance compared to pneumatic alternatives.

What size suction cups come with the ZXPE5?

The SMC ZXPE5 offers suction cup diameters ranging from 8 to 32 mm with multiple shapes and materials available to suit different surface applications.

What temperature can this vacuum gripper operate in?

The SMC ZXPE5 operates reliably in ambient temperatures up to 40°C, making it suitable for collaborative automation environments.

How do I know if the gripper is working properly?

The SMC ZXPE5 features a 360-degree status display and built-in diagnostics that provide real-time process visibility and support troubleshooting for improved uptime.

Electric vacuum versus pneumatic gripper:

Choose the SMC ZXPE5 when you need a self-contained vacuum solution without external air lines or compressors. It contrasts with pneumatic grippers that require shop air supply and separate pump infrastructure, making it ideal for compact collaborative cells and rapid deployment.

For delicate surfaces, flexible materials, or uneven workpieces, the integrated gentle suction with cup diameters from 8 to 32 mm handles pick-and-place and packaging without damage or slipping.
In tight collaborative cells with limited pneumatic infrastructure, the 0.556 kg all-in-one unit with built-in pump eliminates air line routing and reduces clutter.
For small to medium parts up to 5 N grip force, the compact design frees robot payload compared to heavier pneumatic manifold assemblies.
On high-cycle automation lines, three selectable operating modes optimize energy use and reduce idle power draw versus always-on pneumatic systems.
With plug-and-play FANUC compatibility and two-screw ISO 9409-1-50-4-M6 mounting, setup and tool changeover are faster than custom pneumatic installations.
