CNGBS Robotic Arm Gripper and Suction Cup End Effector for Mixed Picking

Overview

• • This end effector is an independently designed gripper and suction cup tool built by CNGBS for robotic arm picking tasks.
• • The tool combines mechanical grippers with vacuum cups on one plate, so rigid and flexible parts are handled in the same cycle.
• • A 1850 mm vertical travel range covers deep bins and stacked layers without repositioning the robot base.
• • Horizontal travel of 940 mm allows the tool to offset pick points inside a wide working area.
• • A 600 W servo drive provides the actuation power, and the 20 kg tool weight stays within common six axis arm payload budgets.

Specifications

Advantages

• • Grippers and suction cups share one mounting plate, which removes a tool change step on mixed product lines.
• • The 1850 mm vertical travel reaches the bottom of deep bins, so manual replenishment frequency drops.
• • 940 mm horizontal travel lets the tool shift pick points without moving the robot base.
• • A 600 W servo drive delivers firm clamping force while keeping the tool responsive at short cycle times.
• • The 20 kg tool weight leaves payload margin on common six axis arms for heavier workpieces.
• • Independent design means suction cup spacing and jaw geometry can be matched to your part family.
• • A one year warranty covers the drive and mechanical assembly under normal production use.
• • Vacuum cups and jaws are controlled independently, so one product can be gripped while the next is picked by suction.
• • Spare cup modules and jaw pads are stocked as separate items, so wear parts are replaced without changing the whole head.

Applications

• • Picking cartons and film bags from mixed pallets.
• • Loading sheet metal blanks into press or forming stations.
• • Transferring packed parts between conveyor and tote.
• • Machine tending where part geometry changes between runs.
• • Depalletizing mixed SKU cartons in distribution centres.
• • Sorting operations that combine rigid and flexible items.

FAQ

• • Can the gripper and suction work together? Yes, the head is designed so grippers and vacuum cups operate in the same cycle for mixed part formats.
• • What robot arms does it fit? The tool mounts to a standard robot flange, and the adapter is specified against your arm interface.
• • How much travel does the tool provide? Vertical travel is 1850 mm and horizontal travel is 940 mm, measured on the tool stroke.
• • What is the tool weight? The end effector weighs 20 kg, which leaves payload margin on most six axis arms.
• • Is customization available? Yes, jaw geometry and suction cup spacing can be adapted to your part family.
