In the following video, you can see Vuototecnica Maxigrip suction cups and AVG vacuum generator in action in a critical context such as sheet metal bending presses.
Maxigrip suction cups stand out for their grip: they can securely hold the sheet metal in place, both when the robotic arm moves vertically and when it moves horizontally, preventing the risk of slipping, even on wet or oily surfaces.
The grip is firm, and it is precisely this reliability that makes them ideal for applications where even the slightest inaccuracy could compromise the entire cycle.
The effectiveness of Maxigrip is supported by AVG, a compact, versatile vacuum generator suitable for direct mounting on even the smallest, most articulated, and fastest robots.
AVG is quick to generate a vacuum, a single-stage ejector that optimizes flow rate compared to traditional multi-stage systems.
One of its most appreciated advantages is energy savings: up to 40% less compressed air. This is made possible by an integrated and adjustable pneumatic vacuum switch that interrupts the compressed air supply when the maximum vacuum value is reached, reactivating it only when the vacuum level falls below the minimum threshold.
All this happens even in the event of a power failure: AVG continues to operate according to efficiency logic, unlike traditional Venturi tubes with normally open solenoid valves, which remain open and consume compressed air even when there is no power.
AVG also features a second micro-solenoid valve, designed to quickly restore atmospheric pressure inside the suction cups and clean the vacuum pipes: a technical feature that facilitates the continuous and intense work cycles typical of robotic lines.
Vuototecnica supports the sector with cutting-edge solutions designed to increase productivity, reduce consumption, and improve quality at every stage.
