Description

The Schmalz FMCB is a vacuum area gripping system for collaborative robots that uses external vacuum generation, so it needs a vacuum source such as an ejector or pump separate from the gripper. It is built with 3D printing technology and is suited to picking up parcels and boxes, for example when loading or unloading pallets with a cobot.

For the FMCB-SW110 variant with 20 mm open-cell foam, Schmalz lists dimensions of 300 x 130 x 131.4 mm, a 1.1 mm nozzle and a weight of 1.35 kg, and a lifting capacity of 80 N vertical and 350 N horizontal. A variant with bellows suction cups is also available.

The integrated vacuum switch (VSi) and the NFC interface provide data and configuration access from a smartphone, tablet or computer. Schmalz states the gripper meets ISO/TS 15066 requirements for human-robot collaboration.
