The new MVG Modular Vacuum Gripper series (photo) can be tailored to desired sizes, and users can also configure: the vacuum generators; the gripping interfaces (foam or suction cups); and the vacuum level control (electronic vacuum switch or vacuum gauge). The MVG Series enables precise vacuum management with “multi-zoning,” which allows for the creation of multiple independent gripping zones. This helps to optimize vacuum management during production cycles or palletization, resulting in an increase in vacuum level, reduction of leaks and a drop in energy consumption, says the company. — Coval, Montélier, France
