Schmalz introduces the FA‑X and FA‑M vacuum gripper systems, designed to automate industrial processes with minimal energy consumption. These grippers enable tasks such as palletizing, depalletizing, commissioning, or sorting with a single device.

The systems stand out for their ability to handle parts regardless of their size, shape, material, or surface, making them applicable to a wide variety of sectors and materials, such as: wood (coated or raw), packaging (boxes, bags, or cans), metal sheets, glass, plastics, and CFRP.

Other relevant features include:

  • Operation in rotating operations and with high accelerations.
  • Handling of rigid parts with rough or structured surfaces.
  • High energy efficiency thanks to a patented energy-saving function.
  • Low weight, suitable for integration into robots and automated systems.

The FA‑X and FA‑M systems provide a flexible and efficient solution for the automation of industrial processes that require handling of different materials and geometries.
