Special bellows cups with supports

Special bellows cups with supports

These bellows cups crumple up when in contact with surface to be gripped and in presence of a vacuum, thus creating a quick lifting movement independently from the automation. This rapid movement prevents the load beneath from remaining stuck to the lifted one. Thanks to their great flexibility, they can also be used to compensate flatness errors or for gripping on inclined surfaces.
The cups shown on this page are the ideal solution for our customers; in fact, they have been designed for handling biscuits, stickers, crackers, sheets, labels, small metal and plastic objects, cardboard, paper and plastic bags, delicate products, chocolate and regular eggs, laminated plastic, etc.
Their nickel-plated brass or anodised aluminium supports are provided with a threaded male or female pin to enable suction and to fasten them to the automation.
These cups can be manually assembled onto their supports without any adhesives, simply by pressing them in. They are provided in standard compounds and, upon request, can be provided in minimum quantities and in other special compounds, listed on top, to be defined in the order.

Single-stage and multi-function vacuum generators, MSVE series

Single-stage and multi-function vacuum generators, MSVE series

The vacuum generators of this new series can fully drive a negative pressure gripping system. By means of coaxial shutters, the original compressed air supply system feeds large quantities of air to both the ejectors and the ejection system, thereby ensuring faster gripping and release of the load. These vacuum generators are equipped with single-stage ejectors, are powered by low pressure (max. 4 bar), and feature an extremely high emptying speed in relation to their suction flow rate. All this allows for increasingly faster high-performance work cycles. Two micro solenoid valves manage the compressed air supply to the vacuum ejector and adjustable discharge blow off. The intensity and duration of the latter are managed through a screw-type flow regulator. The check valve built into the suction connector maintains the vacuum in the event of a power outage. A digital vacuum switch, equipped with a display and commutation LED, manages the compressed air supply and provides a signal to start a cycle under safety conditions. An anodised aluminium distributor with vacuum connectors has an integrated suction filter that can be easily inspected. By activating the compressed air power micro solenoid valve, the generator creates vacuum for use. As soon as the set maximum value is reached, the digital vacuum switch acts on the electric coil of the micro solenoid valve and stops the air supply, reactivating it when the vacuum falls below the minimum level.
Besides maintaining the vacuum level within set safety values (hysteresis), this modulation allows for considerable compressed air savings. A second signal from the vacuum switch (also adjustable and independent with respect to the first) can be used to start the cycle when the vacuum level reached is suitable for use. Once the work cycle is completed, the micro solenoid valve that supplies compressed air to the generator is deactivated while, at the same time, the ejection solenoid valve is activated for quick restoration of the atmospheric pressure upon use. The MSVE vacuum generators can be installed in any position and are suitable for suction gripping systems, handling metal sheets, glass, marble, ceramics, plastic, cardboard, wood, etc. and, in particular, for the industrial robotics sector, where equipment with excellent performance and limited weight and bulk are increasingly required.

VACUMANAGER VM series power supply unit

VACUMANAGER VM series power supply unit

VACUMANAGER VM series units are integrated electro-pneumatic circuits designed to supply and manage single-stage and multi-stage vacuum generators.
VM units house the following in an anodised body/distributor machined from billet aluminium:
- 1 Digital vacuum switch with display
- 1 Compressed air supply valve
- 1 Blow off valve
- 1 Flow regulator for the blow off valve
A compact electro-pneumatic control circuit that incorporates all components for the management of vacuum and blow off generation in a handling system equipped with vacuum cups and powered by pneumatic vacuum generators (single-stage or multi-stage).
In combination with the Vuototecnica Energy Saving cables, these represent the best solution in terms of energy efficiency, as they limit the consumption of the compressed air supplying the pneumatic vacuum generators to the time strictly necessary to empty the vacuum cups.
This energy-saving solution is even more valued and appreciated in all vacuum cup handling operations for products with excellent sealing or with micro-porosity (metal sheets, glass, wood or plastic veneered panels, etc.).
Vuototecnica also recommends VM units for handling all Octopus gripping systems equipped with pneumatic vacuum generators and shut-off valves.

Accessories for single-stage vacuum generators - Pneumatic coaxial shutter valves

Accessories for single-stage vacuum generators - Pneumatic coaxial shutter valves

The function of these solenoid valves is to intercept the compressed air supply to the vacuum generators. Interception through an original coaxial shutter allows the supply of large quantities of air, thus ensuring greater gripping speed of the vacuum cups.
They are composed of an anodised aluminium body with an integrated coaxial shutter, pneumatically operated by a micro solenoid valve with low absorption electric coil, capable of managing operating pressures between 1.5 and 7 bar.
They can be controlled via vacuum switches or simple electrical switches.
Thanks to their compactness, it is also possible to install them directly on the vacuum generators, thus eliminating unnecessary pipes and negative volumes.

Vacupredator vacuum cups for gripping bags, packs and flexible containers

Vacupredator vacuum cups for gripping bags, packs and flexible containers

For the gripping of bags, packs and flexible containers in paper or plastic, containing powders, granulated products, loose or liquid products. These new vacuum cups have been designed and manufactured to safely grip even the most difficult and irregular packages. Made of anodised aluminium and equipped with a slotted plate inside them to allow flexible containers to perfectly adapt to the cup, as well as a special foam rubber seal which, following the inevitable creases that form on flexible containers during gripping, prevents perimeter vacuum losses.
They are especially suitable for gripping flow packs, flexible containers for intravenous therapy, bags of sweets or other similar products, plastic bags of granulated products, of cement, sugar or flour, etc.
The lifting force was calculated considering a level of vacuum of at least -75 Kpa, the total surface enclosed within the seal and a factor of safety 3.

Vacuum regulators with pneumatic adjustment

Vacuum regulators with pneumatic adjustment

Vacuum regulators with pneumatic adjustment differ from the previous ones for the way they adjust the level of vacuum; in fact, instead of acting manually on the adjustment screw, it is necessary to act on the pneumatic cylinder compressed air supply: the higher the pressure, and the higher the level of vacuum and vice-versa.
Vacuum regulators are used to adjust the pre-set level of vacuum and keep it constant (secondary vacuum), regardless of the pump vacuum level or the vacuum level (primary vacuum).
Unlike the vacuum adjusting valves, regulators do not introduce atmospheric air into the circuit, thus producing more gripping points with different vacuum values, from only one vacuum source.
Their operating principle is based on the contrasting action between a pneumatic cylinder with short stroke and a fluctuating piston driven by the pressure differential existing between the secondary vacuum and the atmospheric pressure.
Technical features
- Operation: membrane-piston regulator
- Supply pressure: from 0 to 5 bar for regulators item 11 .. 31;
- Adjustable working pressure: from 800 to 1 mbar abs. for regulators item 11 .. 31;
- Flow rate: from 370 to 750 m3/h.
- Room temperature: from -10 to +80 °C
- Installation position: any
Usage
Vacuum regulators are mainly used on centralised plants where, regardless of the plant level of vacuum, each grip can be adjusted within that value. Moreover, they are necessary whenever the working vacuum must be lower than the primary vacuum and kept constant. Vacuum regulators with pneumatic adjustment can be installed away from the control point, since it is sufficient to have a pressure regulator on the control panel to act on them.

Vacuum regolators

Vacuum regolators

These devices control the level of vacuum, maintaining it constant at the pre-set value (secondary vacuum), regardless of the network’s flow rate and the fluctuations in vacuum level (primary vacuum).
They operate by membrane-piston and exploit the pressure differential between the secondary vacuum and the atmospheric pressure.
Unlike the vacuum control valves, reducers do not release air into the circuit, thereby allowing for the creation more grip points taken at different degrees of vacuum, from a single vacuum source.
The level of vacuum is adjusted manually by turning the knurled thumb screw clockwise to increase it, and counter clockwise to decrease it.
Technical features
- Operation: membrane-piston regulator
- Adjustable operating pressure: from 800 to 1 mbar abs.
- Flow rate : from 390 to 750 m3/h.
- Room temperature: from -10 to +80 °C
- Installation position: any
Usage
The best use of vacuum reducers is in centralised plants where, regardless of the plant’s level of vacuum, each outlet can be adjusted within that value. Moreover, they are necessary whenever the working vacuum must be lower than the primary vacuum.

Direct drive 2-way vacuum solenoid valves

Direct drive 2-way vacuum solenoid valves

These direct drive two-way, two-position vacuum solenoid valves in the new series feature a conical shutter servo-controlled by the vacuum.
They are normally closed, but they can be supplied normally open upon request.
They are composed of an anodised aluminium body where the connections are located, a conical silicon shutter assembled onto a stainless steel stem and a membrane in a special rubberised and coated compound. An actuator activated by an electric coil manages the vacuum at the servo-control. The operating principle of these solenoid valves is based on the pressure differential between the vacuum pump or generator and the pressure of the suctioned air. By addressing this “differential pressure” to the servocontrol via the actuator, the shutter can be controlled without compressed air or springs.
Due to their operating principle, they are not recommended on plants with rough vacuum levels (below 850 absolute mbar, equal to 15% vacuum).
The lack of springs, frictions and internal dynamic stresses favours a high response speed and guarantees long lasting operation of the solenoid valve.
The standard electric coil is fully plasticised with synthetic resin, tight execution, insulation class F (up to 155°C) compliant with VDE standards, with 6.3 mm threeterminal electrical connections in compliance with EN 175301-803 (ex-DIN 43650).
Protection degree IP 54, IP 65 with connector inserted.
Tolerance permitted on the nominal voltage value: ± 10%.
Maximum absorption: 20 V.A. with AC and 18 W with DC.
The electric coil can be rotated 360°. The connector can be rotated 180° on the coil and can be supplied, upon request, with LED light, anti-interference circuit and/or with protection devices against overvoltage and polarity reversal.
This series of solenoid valves can be used on vacuum systems without compressed air and in all applications where suction has to be controlled separately from the air inlet into circuit, such as degasifiers, autoclaves, vacuum thermo-welders, etc. The solenoid valve must be always chosen according to the flow rate and, therefore, to the vacuum pump or generator suction connection.
Technical features
Operating pressure: from 0.5 to 850 absolute mbar
Temperature of suctioned fluid: from – 5 to + 60°C

3-Way vacuum solenoid pilot valves

3-Way vacuum solenoid pilot valves

These direct-drive valves have been specially designed for vacuum and are normally closed.
They are composed of an anodised aluminium body, where the connections and the passage orifices are located, and of an actuator which is activated by an electric coil.
The solenoid pilot valve shutter in NBR nitrile rubber or Vulkollan®, is an integral part of the actuator mobile core.
Both the orifices of the 2-way solenoid pilot valves have the same size, while those of the 3-way ones have a 3mm outlet diameter, obtained through the tube. The very low reaction time allows carrying out a very high number of cycles per minute.
The standard electric coil is fully plasticised with synthetic resin, tight execution, insulation class F (up to 155 °C) compliant with VDE standards, with 6.3 mm 3-terminal electrical connections in compliance with EN 175301-803 (ex DIN 43650).
Protection degree IP 54; IP 65 for inserted connector.
Allowed tolerance on the voltage nominal value: ±10%.
Maximum absorption:
0 V.A. with AC and 18 W with DC.
8 V.A. with AC and 6.5 W with DC. (07 00 16 - 07 00 20)
The electric coil can be rotated by 360°.
The connector can be rotated by 180° on the coil and can be supplied, upon request, with LED lights, anti-interference circuit and/or with protection devices against overvoltage and polarity reversal.
Technical features
Working pressure: from 1 to 1500 mbar abs.
Temperature of the sucked fluid: from -5 to +60 °C

Special PH and P2H suction plates for octopus systems for gripping empty cans, tins, jars and vials without lids or caps

Special PH and P2H suction plates for octopus systems for gripping empty cans, tins, jars and vials without lids or caps

The special suction plates illustrated and described on this page can be installed on OCTOPUS systems to replace the PX and P2X plates.
They are made of anodised aluminium sheets with holes equidistant from each other and coated with a special sponge rubber, microperforated at the holes in the aluminium sheet, in two different thicknesses: 15 mm for PH suction plates and 30 mm for P2H plates.
The use of calibrated holes makes it possible to calculate the flow rate of the vacuum generator to be installed on the OCTOPUS SYSTEM, to ensure that, even in the presence of losses due to transpiration or the absence of some objects to be picked up, there is always a minimum vacuum value, sufficient to grip even the few remaining containers.
The use of these suction plates is recommended for gripping and handling empty cans, tins, vials and jars made of various materials and without lids or caps.
The lifting force of the container will be directly proportional to the degree of vacuum generated on the surface of the mouth of the can or vial to be picked up.
Note: These plates are not suitable for picking up empty plastic or glass water and wine bottles.
All flexible containers must be previously vacuum tested to avoid the risk of implosion.

Equipment for vacuum tests

Equipment for vacuum tests

The function of these devices is to test the welding sealing in flow-pack, cellophane or food product wrappings.
They are composed of:
- A transparent Plexiglass cylindrical container into which the water is poured and the vacuum is created.
- A mobile transparent Plexiglass lid with, on its lower part, a perforated disc fixed via a pin which is for keeping the flow-pack wrapping submerged in the water, in the container and on its upper part, the instruments for managing and controlling the vacuum.
- A multiple ejector multi-stage vacuum generator.
- A check valve located on the generator suction inlet to prevent the air from returning into the container when the generator is not in operation.
- A sleeve valve for compressed air interception.
- A supply compressed air reducer equipped with pressure gauge.
- A 2-way manual valve for restoring the atmospheric pressure inside the container.
The wrapping submerged in the water in the container tends to inflate because of the pressure differential produced between the air at atmospheric pressure on its inside and the vacuum created in the container. The higher the level of vacuum reached in the bell jar and the greater the thrust that the air contained in the wrapping will exert on the walls and, therefore, on the weldings. Any air leak from the wrapping due to a defecting welding is proved by bubbles that indicate the exact point of the welding that’s leaking. The level of vacuum that can be reached inside the bell jar depends on the pump installed.
The test values are adjustable and can be automatically repeated.
Available in other versions upon request.
