Will the SMC ZXPE5 work with my FANUC CRX robot?

The SMC ZXPE5 connects directly to FANUC CRX robots via a PNP M8 interface, requiring no external compressed air or additional setup. It mounts using an ISO 9409-1-50-4-M6 tool flange with two clamp screws for fast tool changes.

What is the gripping force of the SMC ZXPE5 electric vacuum gripper?

The SMC ZXPE5 generates a maximum gripping force of 5 N and needs no external compressed air because it has built-in electric vacuum generation. This integrated design with a leak-reducing system provides stable handling with minimal setup.

What size cups does the SMC ZXPE5 support?

The SMC ZXPE5 adapts to suction cups with diameters from 8 mm to 32 mm in various shapes and materials, making it suitable for flexible workpieces and uneven surfaces. This range of cup options lets you customize the gripper for different pick-and-place, packaging and palletizing tasks.

Can the ZXPE5 handle delicate or irregular items?

Yes, the ZXPE5 is designed to handle delicate or uneven surfaces reliably through its flexible cup configurations and integrated vacuum system. The leak-reducing design ensures stable gripping without damaging sensitive workpieces.

What is the weight and operating temperature range of the SMC ZXPE5?

The SMC ZXPE5 weighs 0.556 kg and operates in ambient temperatures up to 40 degrees Celsius. Its compact, lightweight design makes it suitable for collaborative robots with space and payload constraints.

Electric vacuum versus pneumatic or magnetic grippers:

The SMC ZXPE5 is an electric vacuum gripper built for FANUC CRX robots. It generates vacuum power internally, so it needs no external compressed air supply or pneumatic lines. This contrasts with traditional pneumatic vacuum systems that require a compressor and tubing, and with magnetic grippers that work only on ferrous materials.

For delicate or uneven workpieces, the flexible cup range (8–32 mm diameter, multiple shapes and materials) adapts to irregular surfaces and soft items that pneumatic systems may damage or grip unpredictably.
In compact collaborative cells, the 0.556 kg weight and integrated design free up payload and eliminate compressed air infrastructure, so setup is faster and the robot arm carries more tool weight.
For high-throughput pick-and-place and palletizing lines on FANUC CRX, the fast tool-change mount (ISO 9409-1-50-4-M6 with two screws) and plug-and-play M8 interface cut changeover downtime versus rewiring pneumatic solenoids.
In warm environments up to 40 °C, electric operation avoids the condensation and pressure loss that pneumatic systems suffer in humid or heated spaces.
