NEW · SOFTGRIPPING CONTROLBOX SG.BP.1V.C4
Precise pneumatic control for high-speed soft gripping
Control pressure, vacuum and finger movement precisely matched to your product and process. Configure pressure and timing in software, store application-specific settings and let the robot or PLC call up the right gripping behavior during production.
Up to 90
gripping cycles per minute*
Up to 4
application-specific profiles
3–8 bar
compressed-air input
WHY PNEUMATIC CONTROL MATTERS
The gripper adapts to the product. The ControlBox adapts the movement.
Soft fingers alone do not determine the quality of a gripping process. In fast pick-and-place applications, pressure build-up, finger speed, pneumatic timing and opening behavior can directly influence cycle time, repeatability and finger lifetime.
The SG.BP.1V.C4 gives integrators and machine builders control over these parameters instead of relying on a fixed pneumatic setup. Depending on the gripper, product, pneumatic setup and robot motion, applications with up to 90 gripping cycles per minute are possible.
Reach the product faster
A configurable boost pressure can accelerate the initial pressure build-up when short cycle times are required.
Make contact with control
Defined pressure levels and adjustable ramp times help avoid unnecessarily aggressive pressure changes and reduce mechanical stress on the product and gripping fingers.
Release when the process needs it
Vacuum and spreading times can be configured to match the required finger opening behavior and the available cycle window.
BUILT FOR FLEXIBLE PRODUCTION
One gripping system. Different products.
Different products, weights or formats may require different gripping pressures and opening behavior. The SG.BP.1V.C4 can store up to four application-specific pressure profiles so the gripping system can adapt without manual pneumatic readjustment.
Different products. Different parameters.
Give each product or format its own combination of target pressure, boost pressure and timing parameters.
Switch profiles from the machine
The robot or PLC selects the required pressure profile through the industrial interface - without manual regulator adjustment.
Standardize the gripping concept
Use one gripping system across multiple products, recipes or machine variants and adapt the pneumatic behavior in software instead of rebuilding the end-of-arm tool.
FROM SETUP TO PRODUCTION
Configure on the PC. Run from the machine.
Connect the ControlBox to a PC via USB-C and configure the gripping behavior with the SoftGripping software. Simple Mode provides a quick starting point for standard configurations and allows direct testing of Grip, Relax and Spread.
For demanding applications, Professional Mode provides detailed control over pressure, boost pressure, ramp times and vacuum timing. Once the setup has been validated, the robot or PLC takes over via the M12 industrial interface.
