SoftGripping Controlbox

Precision Control for High-Speed Automation

Unlock the full potential of your high-speed automation systems with the SoftGripping Controlbox SG.BP.1V.C4. Engineered for demanding industrial environments, this control unit offers an unparalleled balance of speed, precision, and durability. It is the ideal solution for applications where maximizing throughput cannot come at the expense of component longevity.

A New Standard in Gripper Control and Performance

Fine Pressure Control for Enhanced Finger Longevity

The key to extending the service life of SoftGripper fingers is precise pressure management. The SG.BP.1V.C4 allows users to finely sculpt pressure curves using the intuitive software. In Professional Mode, parameters like Ramp time and Boost pressure can be configured to eliminate harmful pressure spikes. This granular control drastically reduces material stress, protecting your investment and ensuring consistent performance over millions of cycles.

Engineered for Maximum Throughput

This control box is purpose-built for high-speed pick-and-place applications. The innovative Boost pressure function delivers a short, powerful burst of air to achieve the target pressure more rapidly, significantly cutting down actuation time. The result is shorter cycle times and a tangible increase in your production throughput.

Energy-Efficient Finger Spreading

The finger spreading mechanism is achieved by applying a precisely controlled vacuum. Unlike systems requiring a continuously running vacuum pump, the SG.BP.1V.C4 utilizes an internal ejector that generates this vacuum with a short, efficient burst of compressed air. This intelligent design minimizes air consumption, leading to significant energy savings and lower operating costs.

 

Main Features:

• Enhanced Finger Longevity: Finely tuned pressure profiles prevent overshooting and reduce wear on the gripper fingers.
