The new FSGC bellows suction pad adapts perfectly to different workpiece contours and different packaging materials.

Distribution and logistics centers demand high pick rates in automation processes. Schmalz' solution for this is the round bellows suction pad FSGC, which is not particularly picky about the type and contour of the packaging to be gripped.

The new FSGC bellows suction pad adapts perfectly to different workpiece contours and different packaging materials.

Things have to move quickly when sorting and transferring cardboard boxes, paper and poly bags, and shipping bags. For use in sorting cells, J. Schmalz GmbH has developed the FSGC, a bellows suction pad that adapts to different contours and holds various packaging materials securely even at high accelerations. To achieve this, the vacuum expert has combined a flexible suction cup neck with 4.5 folds for increased stroke. To maximize the holding forces, the inner diameter is designed to be as large as possible.

The connection to the vacuum system is made via a one-piece connecting element. It is pluggable so that the user can quickly change the suction cup. It is suitable for various grippers, including individually manufactured ones from the 3D printer. The FSGC is made of the material NBR and is available immediately in outer diameters of 40, 50 and 60 millimeters.
