SAS unveils vacuum handling line of robotic EOAT

SAS Automation has introduced a vacuum handling system line of robotic end-of-arm tooling (EOAT).

The vacuum handling system handles bulky and heavy parts reliably to ensure no part damage.

Each gripper has one valve that is auto-regulated to open and close.

Gripping power remains constant, which SAS Automation said offers improved handling and lifting.

The company added that it is easy to configure the vacuum handling system to the user's specific part.

The system handles parts that are often difficult for standard grippers including porous, soft, twisted, round, flexible and other non-standard shapes, weights and materials.

Power consumption: Electric turbine - power consumption of the turbine is approximately 30 per cent of normal in release position; Compressed air - Venturi power consumption only in pick-up mode.

SAS Automation said the advantages of the system include: adjustable systems; ability to handle a wide variety of shapes; durable to handle weights to 614 lb/ft2 (3,000kg/m2); independent and auto-regulated valve system; lightweight and compact; easy to install; and multiple heads configured in series only require one turbine.
