SMC ZXPE5 Electric Vacuum Gripper for UR Cobots, 5 N

SMC

$5,995.00

SMC ZXPE5 is a self-contained electric vacuum gripper with integrated pump, vent valve, pressure sensor, and suction cup that delivers 5 N gripping force in a 0.556 kg unit. UR-certified for UR3e, UR5e, UR10e, and UR16e cobots with M8 plug-and-play connection, it eliminates external air supply and features three power-optimized modes, 360-degree status indicator, and support for multiple suction cup geometries (8-32 mm). Ideal for pick-and-place, packaging, labeling, and handling flexible or uneven surfaces.

Electric vacuum gripper versus pneumatic or mechanical alternatives:

The ZXPE5 is a self-contained electric vacuum gripper built for UR cobots. Unlike pneumatic vacuum grippers that depend on factory compressed air lines, the ZXPE5 integrates its own electric pump, eliminating air dependency and reducing leak points. It is lighter (0.556 kg) and suited to delicate or small-part handling where grip force under 5 N is sufficient.

For light parts under 5 N in confined collaborative cells, the self-contained pump removes the need for external air infrastructure and tool-change downtime.
On flexible or irregular surfaces like soft packaging or labels, the plug-and-play 360-degree status indicator and three power-optimized modes allow real-time grip feedback and energy tuning per task.
On UR3e through UR16e lines, the M8 connector and ISO 9409 flange enable faster tool changes than manual clamp systems, keeping cycle time tight on pick-and-place and small-parts palletizing.
In high-temperature or outdoor-adjacent environments above 40 ambient, a pneumatic or mechanical gripper rated for higher heat may be more reliable than this electric unit.
