New: Palletizer SPZ-S/M-C - the universal large-area gripper

Palletizing and depalletizing of complete product layers, single or multiple packages and separating layers now also possible for deep-frozen goods

 

The family of so-called layer or large-area grippers from Schmalz now has a new member.

The range of Schmalz large-area gripping products is subdivided into three segments:

standard gripper modules FX/FM for the construction of individual gripping systems for product handling in in-house logistics applications, special layer grippers VacuBox/SBX for flexible use in the woodworking industry and, just added,  the Palletizers SPZ-S and SPZ-M (with auxiliary mechanical grippers) for palletizing and depalletizing complete layers of products.

Schmalz Palletizer
New, universal large-area vacuum grippers
Palletizers SPZ-S and SPZ-M (with auxiliary mechanical gripper)


Our highlights / your benefits:
 
1. Pallet-sized gripper system


Your benefits: palettizing/depalettizing complete layers of products and thus minimal cycle times!
 


2. Suction surface made of special foam material or, alternatively, composed of many individual suction cells


Your benefits: optimal adaptation to the workpiece structure; no need to change the gripper for handling of differing products
 


3. Deactivation of unused suction cells


Your benefits: no need to change the gripper in order to handle partial layers


 
4. Optionally available with mechanical grippers

(Palletizer SPZ-M)


Your benefits: faster movement is possible; the layer is stabilised
 


5. Special version available for handling deep-frozen goods


Your benefits: automated palettizing/depalettizing even at temperatures below -20°C



New, universal large-area vacuum grippers
flexible handling in any process...
of pallets, complete layers of products, single or multiple packages and intermediate layers of paper or cardboard.

Schmalz Palletizer SPZ
Flexible coverage
Partial layers or individual packages in a layer can also be handled easily without having to change the gripper.

Schmalz Palletizer SPZ
Auxiliary mechanical gripper
Stabilises the layer and increases the holding force!


Construction:

  • Complete system, delivered ready for connection!
  • Modular gripper design
  • Integrated check valves (flying-ball valves)
  • External vacuum supply, for example by a blower 
  • Control with the aid of pneumatic valves (vacuum on/off, venting)
  • SPZ-M: with auxiliary mechanical gripper

    The large-area vacuum grippers SPZ-S and SPZ-M are designed specifically for use with EURO pallets, but can be modified to match other pallet sizes. The number of gripper modules varies accordingly.


  • Gripper design
    Modular gripper design
    Permits easy construction of application-specific or customer-specific grippers.


    Palletizer SPZ-S
    A Palletizer SPZ-S consists of individual gripper modules (with integrated check valves) and a suction mat produced specifically to meet the requirements of the application.
     
    Application example: click here to read more about an actual application using the Palletizer SPZ-S.


    Palletizer SPZ-S
    Flexible gripper...
    The large-area gripper can handle cardboard boxes, intermediate layers of paper and the actual pallet without problems.


    Palletizer SPZ-M
    The gripper version SPZ-M has an additional, auxiliary mechanical gripper. This grips the product layer from all four sides and thus stabilises the layer, supports the holding force of the vacuum to permit higher acceleration and traversing speeds and thus permits very dynamic operation during automatic palletizing and depalletizing and improves the precise positioning of the layer on the pallet.
     
    The auxiliary mechanical gripper is particularly useful when handle relatively soft product or packages and when handling goods in critical surroundings (deep-freeze stockrooms, etc.) and also improves the process safety.

    Auxiliary mechanical gripper
    Permits higher traversing speeds during handling!
