COVAL Now Offers Vacuum Grippers with Communication Interface

Cross is excited to share that COVAL now offers an extended range of grippers with the latest CMS HD series multistage vacuum pumps to meet the demands of Industry 4.0

COVAL’s range of vacuum grippers is based on two complementary solutions. Lightness and great adaptability characterize the CVGL which is available as standard in several lengths, power ratings, and gripping interfaces. The MVG, gives you the option to configure the gripper to allow it to be perfectly adapted to each application by determining the length, width, gripping interface, and vacuum generator while guaranteeing extreme lightness. This means manufacturers can tailor the grippers to their specific needs and integrate them perfectly with their handling robots.

COVAL’s new generation of vacuum grippers features the latest CMS HD series of vacuum pumps. These pumps are designed with heavy-duty construction for high reliability in harsh environments and feature a modular design for targeted maintenance and repairability. Additionally, they come with a choice of three multistage vacuum pump configurations, depending on the needs of the integrator or end user: non-piloted, piloted, and communicating. The communicating configuration comes with an IO-Link communication interface, compliant with the international IEC 61131-9 standard, for fast and cost-effective installation, continuous diagnostics, centralized parameterization, and efficient communication with higher-level protocols (EtherNet/IP, PROFINET, EtherCAT, etc.).

The new generation of COVAL vacuum grippers are incredibly versatile and perfect for use in various industries, including packaging, plastic, metal, and wood for handling porous and non-porous objects. With their lightweight construction, adaptable design, and reliable performance, these vacuum grippers could be a great solution for your process.
