Previous EOAT designs to handle multiple SKUs Required multiple individually controlled zones. IO-intensive Tool to the right has automated adjustment of cup spacing to be able to handle multiple size cases. Heavy, costly, complicated Newer concept for flexible tooling Tooling with foam or dense spacing of suction cups. Metered orifices or check- valves at each cup, maintaining performance of covered cups, even with large amount of cups uncovered. No input required to handle different size product or even partial layers. Less Costly More Flexible

Newer concept for flexible tooling
Tooling with foam or dense spacing of suction cups. Metered orifices or check-valves at each cup, maintaining performance of covered cups, even with large amount of cups uncovered. No input required to handle different size product or even partial layers.
Less Costly
More Flexible
Able to handle large # of SKUs
Foam or cup tool can handle pallets and slipsheets with no
Versatile Foam Grippers
Handling wide range of products with one simple tool.
Applications• Handling doors of varying sizes and designs• Stacking/Destacking full course of lumber
Foam able to seal over rough surfaces.
Metered orifice or check-valves used to minimize effects of uncovered area.
Schmalz needle gripper series SNG
Applications• Needle gripper for handling of flexible, non-rigid components• Handling of materials which are difficult to grip with vacuum,such as composite textiles, fleece, felt, carpets, metal foam, insulating
Different needle diameters
Synchronized extension of theneedles
Versatile Palletizer/De-Palletizer
Layer gripper for large range of products.
Applications• Depalletizing products coming into distribution centers, to later be singulated and used to build mixed pallets.• Stacking/Destacking full layers of product to build mixed pallets.
Schmalz magnetic gripper series SGMApplications• Magnetic gripper for handling of perforated metal sheets,complex laser-cut workpieces and metal sheets with holes andapertures• Handling of ferromagnetic workpieces
Safe gripping by a permanent magnetBistable design: the magnet settings “grip” and “release” aremaintained in event of power loss
SGM-S with piston control for sensor recognition of piston positionof the magnetic gripper
Schmalz wafer gripper series SWGm
Applications• Wafer gripper for extremely fast and gentle handling of wafersand solar cells in the production processes• Loading and unloading from stacks and conveyor belts• Exact positioning during the visual inspection and position measurement• Fully or partially automated production of PV cells with maximumprocess stability, production line uptime, cell efficiency and lineoutput
High suction rate even forpartial coverage or leakages
Gripper surface made of PEEK for mini mal surface contaminationand reduction of blindspots
Schmalz composite gripper series SCG
Applications• Gripper for handling of composites• Handling of non-rigid and flexible workpieces• Handling of extremely thin, sensitive foils• Handling of blank circuit boards
Suction surface with suctionopenings placed close to eachother Prevents the workpiece from being sucked in or damaged.Integrated vacuum generationHigh suction rate with minimumair consumption
