Special grippers and end effectors for battery production

Foils made of copper and aluminum have to withstand a lot in battery production before they can perform their role as anode and cathode in a battery. The handling between the individual production steps must be all the gentler, but how does that work? J. Schmalz offers special grippers and end effectors as little helpers for gentle transport of the sensitive cathodes, anodes, separators and pouch cells.

pfeiffer0312Pfeiffer Vacuum and Glimo have jointly developed the "Vacu²" multi-stage vacuum process for die casting, in which the casting chambers and mold cavities are evacuated in two stages. The vacuum created in this way leads to very good part quality.

The new Vacuum gripper Series FGS-120 from Gimatic is modular, very flexible and energy efficient. With the modular vacuum grippers, differently shaped components in various sizes and different porosities can be handled very easily. A integrated vacuum generator provides the vacuum and makes the grab suitable for use in various industries. In packaging technology or intralogistics, the vacuum cups or vacuum plates reliably grip sheet metal, Plastic, Glass, wood, cardboard or cans.

Owis offers a large portfolio Vacuum Technology of High vacuum (HV), about Ultra high vacuum (UHV) up to extremely high vacuum (XHV). It starts with positioners and optical components in pressure ranges up to 10-6 mbar. In 2017 the company expanded the UHV to 10-9 mbar with new ultra-high vacuum products for a considerable expansion of the possible applications. Last but not least, in the last few years the know-how for XHV products has increased to 10-11 mbar worked out.

smc0519The multi-stage vacuum generators of the ZL250A series from SMC bring about 112% higher suction volume flow compared to a single-stage model. On the basis of the highly efficient 3-stage diffuser construction, they are very powerful. The lightweight powerhouses are also 8% narrower and 60% lighter.

The new Scroll pump of vacuum pumps Hiscroll series from Pfeiffer Vacuum offer a high nominal pumping speed of 6 to 20 m³ / h. The compact design of the oil-free, hermetically sealed vacuum pumps and you low-vibration, quiet operation are particularly beneficial.

For the gentle transfer of workpieces from or to the machines vacuum cups used, be it in paper production, packaging technology, food technology or beverage industry. The suction cups not only have to grip securely, they should also be able to be installed and maintained as quickly and easily as possible. The new vacuum cup ZP3C from SMC is ideal for this. You can find these and other innovations below:

LardThe integrated IO-Link functionality in the compact ejectors SCPi / SMPi from Schmalz is the prerequisite for standardized and therefore cost-effective networking of system components and for preventive system monitoring. In addition, up to 65% compressed air can be saved with these vacuum generators. The power blow-off function ensures more process speed, with which even sensitive workpieces can be removed without damage.

Schmalz1Efficient vacuum generation with compressed air is possible. If the vacuum generator is optimally designed for the application, all parameters such as workpiece properties, cycle times and transport routes have been taken into account and if a suitable, performance-based ejector with functionalities relevant to the requirements is selected, compressed air is not expensive, but a highly efficient energy carrier. Vacuum technology specialist J. Schmalz shows how it's done.
