9.4 The Pick&Place module

In another version, a parallel gripper is used instead of the suction cup with bellows.
The parallel gripper grips the workpieces. A proximity switch detects whether the
parallel gripper is closed.
This requires a mounting kit (order no. 8064882) in order to switch over from a suction
cup to a parallel gripper with gripper jaws.
The Pick&Place module is a universal 2-axis handling device.
The module consists of high-precision slide units. The end
positions of the slides are sensed by proximity switches. The
arrangement of the proximity switches, as well as mounting
position and height, can be adjusted.
A suction cup with bellows grips the workpieces. A vacuum
filter is attached directly to the suction cup, which ensures
that no dirt particles can infiltrate the vacuum generator. A
pressure switch indicates reliable gripping of the
workpieces.
The force of the vertical slide unit (Z-axis) can be adjusted by
means of a pressure regulator.
The module is supplied complete with slide units, vacuum
generator, vacuum filter, suction cup with bellows, pressure
switch, valve terminal, pressure regulator and electrical
interface.
