In 2019, COVAL launched its first CVGC carbon vacuum gripper, designed for collaborative robots, when the market was just beginning to exist. In a market that is constantly expanding, COVAL is launching a second generation, optimising its modularity and compatibility, while simultaneously enhancing its performance.
More than a simple update, COVAL has redesigned their CVGC carbon vacuum gripper based on feedback from customers, integrators, manufacturers and operators. This new generation also takes into account current and future trends in the collaborative robot market: greater application diversity, growth in the number of manufacturers, increased co-presence with operators, and handling of heavier loads.
Versatility
The CVGC is open with a choice of three wing interfaces and six connecting cables
In response to all these changes, COVAL has developed a CVGC which, thanks to its multiple configuration possibilities, is highly versatile. Each customer can configure “their” carbon vacuum gripper to suit their precise needs.
It is available in three sizes (240x120 mm, 320x160 mm, 350x250 mm), two types of gripping interface (foam or suction pad) and with or without an integrated vacuum generator.
The CVGC is available with a choice of three attachment interfaces and six connecting cables. This makes it perfectly compatible with all major brands of cobots.
Power
The CVGC Carbon vacuum gripper is now equipped with a multi-stage pump, synonymous with increased power. This equipment, combined with the lightness of the casing, is made from a carbon structure 2.5 times lighter than steel, while offering six times greater strength, which means it can carry heavier loads.
In this way, it meets an increasingly widespread demand from manufacturers and contributes to the CVGC's versatility.
Safety
As the CVGC is designed to collaborate with operators while performing separate, simultaneous, or alternating tasks, the vacuum gripper is equipped with a safeguard around the edges made of flexible, resistant material to protect the operator in case any contact with it occurs.
Robustness
The various functions of the CVGC vacuum gripper (display, vacuum generator, vaccuostat, silencer, connectors, etc.) are housed in a casing that protects them from impact and damage.
A wide range of applications
On request, the design team is also available to develop customised vacuum grippers
With its ultra-light vacuum gripper, COVAL can transform any collaborative robot into a tool for increasing productivity and workplace health in a wide range of industries: food processing, packaging, plastics processing, etc.
On request, the design team is also available to develop customised vacuum grippers. The CVGC constitutes a tool available to all manufacturers, integrators and users of cobots for palletising, gripping boxes or plastic parts, etc.
