Following the launch of the CVGC carbon vacuum gripper for collaborative robots in 2019, COVAL is now ready to launch its redesigned second generation, 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.
Individual configuration
In response to these changes, COVAL has developed a CVGC that is highly versatile due to its multiple configuration options. Each customer can configure "their" carbon vacuum gripper to exactly meet their requirements. It is available in 3 sizes (240 x 120 mm, 320 x 160 mm, 350 x 250 mm), with 2 types of gripping interface (foam or suction pad) and with or without an integrated vacuum generator.
The CVGC is available with a choice of 3 mounting interfaces and 6 connection cables. This makes it perfectly compatible with all major brands of cobots.
Power and safety
The CVGC Carbon vacuum gripper is now equipped with a multi-stage pump, which means increased performance. It can handle heavier loads thanks to the lightness of its carbon structure, which is 2.5 times lighter than steel and 6 times stronger. This meets a growing demand from manufacturers and contributes to the CVGC's versatility.
As the CVGC is designed to work with operators, performing separate, simultaneous or alternating tasks, the vacuum gripper is equipped with an edge guard made of flexible, resistant material to protect the operator in the event of contact.
For a wide range of applications
The various functions of the CVGC vacuum gripper (display, vacuum generator, vaccuostat, silencer, connectors, etc.) are housed in a case that protects them from shocks and damage.
With its ultra-light vacuum gripper, COVAL can transform any collaborative robot into a tool for improving productivity and health in the workplace in a wide range of industries: food processing, packaging, plastics processing, etc.
