Training content

Low pressure generation and system design:

• Function and use of ejectors according the Venturi principle
• Effects of system pressure on the attainable low pressure and the evacuation time
• Sizing and setting up a vacuum system

Selecting suction grippers:

• Shape and materials
• The relevance of gripper types and workpiece shape
• How the holding force is affected by the workpiece surface and the diameter of the suction cup
  

Typical switching for a vacuum system:

• Using a vacuum security valve when some of the suction cups are not gripping
• Using a pressure switch to monitor the low pressure level
• Reducing the compressed air consumption in a vacuum system
• Controlled release and ejection of workpieces from the suction gripper
  

Components from the equipment set TP 201 are required to carry out the projects.

All the workpieces required to complete the tasks are included in the scope of delivery.
