Component Specifications

Definition
A precision-engineered pneumatic connector designed specifically for robotic placement heads, facilitating the transmission of vacuum pressure from the source to suction cups or grippers. It ensures leak-free connections, maintains consistent vacuum levels, and withstands dynamic movements in automated assembly lines.
Working Principle
Operates by creating a sealed interface between vacuum lines and the robotic head, using mechanical clamping or quick-connect mechanisms to maintain negative pressure. It prevents air ingress, ensuring reliable suction force for handling components during placement operations.
Materials
Stainless steel (AISI 304/316), aluminum alloy (6061-T6), or engineering plastics (PEEK, PTFE) for corrosion resistance and durability in industrial environments.
Technical Parameters
  • Leak Rate <0.01 sccm at 1 bar differential
  • Port Size 1/8" to 1/2" NPT or metric
  • Connection Type Push-to-connect or threaded
  • Operating Temperature -20°C to 80°C
  • Vacuum Pressure Range -0.8 to -0.95 bar
Standards
ISO 16030, DIN 2353
