Venturi Vacuum Cartridges

Millibar continuously develops innovative solutions to solve robotic and material handling challenges. With the release of its Manual Tool Changers for Collaborative Robots, Millibar extends the versatility of an already versatile technology by making robot redeployment extremely fast and easy for any operator. As collaborative robots are employed further up the production line, they are being tasked with handling an expanding array of product shapes and surfaces. To meet these challenges, Millibar has developed off-the-shelf components for controlling vacuum, pneumatic and adaptive grippers that provide a turnkey solution for non-expert robot users.

The Millibar Venturi Vacuum Cartridges, at the heart of their technology, deliver a versatile dirt-tolerant vacuum source to support flexible design requirements.

• Integrate into custom manifolds, saving space, reducing components, and minimizing potential leaks.
• Threaded design means easy machining and fast, no-tools-required assembly.
• Performance options with vacuum levels up to 28”Hg (950mbar) and vacuum flows up to 10 SCFM (280 lpm)

When starting a new robot automation project, In-Position Technologies engineers begin by reviewing the essential requirements to determine the optimum accessories need for the robot to perform the job. They perform all necessary engineering assessments to make sure the robot and its accessories perform as required, within customer specifications, and without unnecessary cost. They will also recommend the appropriate controllers, vacuum source, power supply, and sensor that fit the application.

This includes:

• Payload, reach, speed, cycle time, and repeatability requirement
• Ensuring compatibility with the current system
• Specifying the appropriate feedback device (sensors, vision system, torque sensor)
• Verifying mounting compatibility, form factor checks, etc.
• Ensuring all necessary auxiliary equipment are also specified

When ordering Venturi Vacuum Cartridges as a part of a full system, IP Tech engineers review the solution to ensure:

• All parts and fittings necessary for a complete working solution are included
• All components have been checked and verified to work together as a system
• The selected components will perform as required by the project specifications
