Vacuum Module

safety with tank

This video shows a manipulator equipped with a high-vacuum pump and a dedicated tank, designed to ensure maximum handling efficiency and a high level of operational safety.
The system performs a complete gripping and release cycle of a box in a smooth, precise, and reliable way, with operations managed either in automatic mode or through push-button controls, providing maximum flexibility according to production requirements.

Every function is engineered to protect the operator, the load, and the system, even in the most critical situations. When the emergency button is activated during load handling, the system immediately performs a speed-controlled descent, safely lowering the load to the ground. If the emergency button is pressed without a load, all operating functions are locked, including the sensitive handle, up/down movements, and the gripping and release controls. In both cases, the display shows a red alarm screen, and the system can be reactivated through the dedicated unlock procedure.

Safety is also guaranteed in the event of a vacuum loss. If the vacuum level in the suction cups drops below the preset limit, the manipulator automatically activates a controlled descent to place the load safely on the ground, while the display signals the condition with a red warning screen and an acoustic alarm. Once the correct vacuum level is restored, the system automatically returns to normal operation.

The system also maintains full control in the event of a power failure. Whether caused by a vacuum pump shutdown or a complete power loss, the manipulator automatically performs a controlled descent to safely lower the load, preventing sudden movements and ensuring maximum protection throughout every operating phase. In the event of pump shutdown, both visual and acoustic alarms are activated, while during a total blackout the display switches off completely. The system automatically reactivates once power is restored.
