NexBot Robotics VAC413-016 Vacuum Gripper 16 kg Lift Capacity

Overview

The NexBot Robotics VAC413-016 Vacuum Gripper is a robust end-of-arm tooling (EOAT) solution designed for reliable handling of non-porous and semi-porous materials in industrial automation environments. This gripper is engineered for high-speed pick-and-place, packaging, and palletizing applications where precision and cycle time are critical. Key to its performance is an integrated, high-efficiency venturi vacuum generator, which creates suction using standard compressed air. This design simplifies integration by eliminating the need for external vacuum pumps and complex plumbing, requiring only a single pneumatic line for operation. The gripper achieves a maximum lifting capacity of 16 kg, making it versatile enough to handle a wide range of objects, from delicate electronic components to sheet metal and plastic totes. The standard configuration includes four 60mm polyurethane suction cups, which provide a secure grip and are resistant to wear and industrial oils. Built for demanding factory conditions, the gripper's main body is machined from a single block of lightweight 6061-T6 aluminum, providing exceptional rigidity and durability. It features an industry-standard ISO 9409-1-50-4-M6 mounting flange, ensuring direct compatibility with a wide array of NexBot Robotics arms without custom adapters. With an operating pressure range of 4.5 to 7 bar (65 to 102 psi), it integrates seamlessly into existing factory pneumatic systems. For enhanced control and diagnostics, the VAC413-016 includes an IO-Link interface, allowing for real-time feedback on grip status and vacuum levels, which helps to prevent dropped parts and reduce downtime. The gripper is rated at IP54, protecting internal components from dust ingress and water spray from any direction.
