SMC Vacuum Grippers (Ejector Type) — ZXP Series
A compact, plug-and-play vacuum gripper unit for collaborative robots, integrating a vacuum ejector, air supply/release valve, pressure sensor and suction cups in one self-contained module. Supplied by Pankaj Enterprises as part of the genuine SMC pneumatic automation range.
Product Description
The SMC ZXP series is a self-contained vacuum gripper unit purpose-built for collaborative robots. It integrates a vacuum ejector, air supply/release valve, pressure sensor and suction cups into a single compact module, so the whole gripper can be commissioned by connecting just one compressed-air supply tube and an electrical M8 connector. Supplied by Pankaj Enterprises as a genuine SMC product for cobot integrators and automation buyers across India.
- Plug-and-play configuration — operates by connecting a single air supply tube and one or two M8 electrical connectors
- Compatible with major cobot platforms: Universal Robots (URCap), OMRON/TECHMAN ROBOT (TMComponent), FANUC CRX (plug-in software), YASKAWA, Mitsubishi Electric, and Kawasaki
- Conforms to ISO 9409-1-50-4-M6 (and ISO 9409-1-31.5-4-M5 for select variants) robot flange standards
- Cup pitch is adjustable, and cups with flange can be used separately with an external vacuum source
Applications
- Collaborative-robot pick-and-place and palletising cells
- Flexible small-batch or mixed-product handling
- Packaging and box/carton handling on cobot arms
- Machine tending with cobots in light industrial settings
- Quality inspection stations requiring quick tool-change vacuum handling
- Educational and pilot automation cells using collaborative robots
Key Features & Benefits
- Genuine SMC product, supplied by an authorised distributor
- Fully integrated vacuum ejector, valve, pressure sensor and cups in one unit — no external piping/wiring needed
