What is the difference between ELECTRIC VACUUM GRIPPER and electromagnetic suction cup

The electric vacuum gripper is a device that uses a vacuum generator to generate negative pressure and controls the suction and release through a solenoid valve. It can be used to pick up and carry flat or curved objects, such as glass, tile, marble, metal, etc.

ELECTRIC VACUUM GRIPPER

The electromagnetic suction cup is a device that uses the internal coil to generate magnetic force, and the workpiece that touches the surface of the panel is tightly sucked through the magnetic conductive panel, and the demagnetization is realized by the coil power off, and the workpiece is removed. It is mainly used to fix and process ferrous or non-ferrous workpieces, such as electromagnetic chucks on machine tools such as grinders, milling machines, and planers.

The electromagnetic suction cup

Compared with electromagnetic suction cup, The electric vacuum grippers have the following advantages and disadvantages:

The electric vacuum gripper have a wider range of applications and can adapt to objects of different shapes and materials; while electromagnetic suction cup can only be applied to objects with better magnetic permeability.

The operation of the electric vacuum grippers is simpler and more convenient, and the suction and release can be realized only by giving the corresponding control signal; the suction force can be adjusted, and it can absorb objects of different weights, while the electromagnetic suction cup needs to adjust the knob or handle to achieve demagnetization.

The electric vacuum grippers is more secure, even if the power is off, it will not affect the vacuum state; and the electromagnetic suction cup will lose its magnetic force once the power is off, which may cause objects to fall.

Electric vacuum actuators are electric suction cups that do not require an additional source of compressed air. They can be used in scenarios such as mobile robot platforms, 3C electronic assembly, lithium battery manufacturing, and semiconductor manufacturing.

Small electric suction cups are electric suction cups with built-in brushless motors, they can be used in medical/life science applications, 3C electronics industry applications and other scenarios.
