Product catalog summary
Introduction
The document outlines the OCTOPUS Gripping Bars, which are designed to address the growing need for adaptable vacuum gripping systems in humanoid robots and palletization systems. These bars can handle objects of various shapes and sizes, even if the object's surface covers only 5-10% of the suction plate, as long as they do not have excessive transpiration.

Working Principle
The OCTOPUS bars function based on a vacuum differential principle, where the vacuum generator's capacity surpasses the air suctioned through the suction plate holes. There are two main construction methods for the suction plates:
  • Micro-holes Control: Utilizes a micro-perforated suction plate to evenly distribute suction, ensuring a minimum vacuum level to lift loads covering a small portion of the plate. This method requires higher energy consumption to offset open micro-hole losses.
  • Self-closing Valves: Employs self-closing valves to prevent losses from uncovered holes, focusing suction on covered areas, which results in significant energy savings and a consistent vacuum level across the load surface.

Composition and Materials
The OCTOPUS bars are composed of a fastening plate, vacuum generators, a base box, and a suction plate. Materials such as aluminum and polizene® are used to reduce weight. The suction plates are covered with foam rubber or equipped with bellow suction cups for flexibility and adaptability to various surfaces.

Technical Features
The suction plates feature self-cleaning micro-holes, and the system includes a stainless steel mesh filter for dust. The bars are equipped with multi-stage vacuum generators, and the suction plates are interchangeable. The system can operate on horizontal, vertical, inclined, and upside-down surfaces.

Specifications
The document provides detailed specifications for different models of OCTOPUS bars, including gripping force, vacuum generator type, maximum vacuum level, air consumption, and working temperature. The bars are customizable in size and version upon request.
Specifications:
The document details specifications for various models of Octopus Gripping Bars and Suction Plates. Key parameters include maximum supply pressure (6 bar), maximum vacuum level (-90 KPa), air consumption at 6 bar, quantity of sucked air, working temperature range (-20°C to +80°C), and weight. Dimensions for each model are also specified.

Octopus Gripping Bars:
Identified by codes such as BO 12 .. X, these bars are equipped with suction plates, slotted support plates, and vacuum generators. The gripping force varies across models, with values like 72.2 Kg to 100.3 Kg. They are designed to operate at a normal atmospheric pressure of 1013 mbar.

Standard Suction Plates (PX and P2X):
Available in various sizes and forces, ranging from 25.7 Kg to 100.3 Kg, these plates are designed for different applications and come with specific dimensions and weights.

Vacuum Cup Suction Plates (PV):
Designed to work with vacuum cups, which must be ordered separately, these plates offer forces from 20.8 Kg to 143.7 Kg, with varying dimensions and weights.

Suction Plates with Self-Closing Valves (PXE and P2XE):
These plates include self-closing valves and are available in different sizes and forces, from 25.7 Kg to 104.5 Kg. They are equipped with a specific number of valves and have defined dimensions and weights.

Vacuum Cup Suction Plates with Self-Closing Valves (PVE):
Combining vacuum cups with self-closing valves, these plates offer forces from 20.8 Kg to 84.4 Kg. They are designed for specific applications and have detailed specifications for dimensions and weights.

Locking Plate with Distributor:
This component connects an Octopus gripping bar to a remote vacuum generator or an alternate vacuum source. Made of anodized aluminum, it is suitable for all Octopus gripping bars and includes connections for direct integration with vacuum control instruments.

General Notes:
All values are valid at a normal atmospheric pressure of 1013 mbar and are obtained with a constant supply pressure. The document emphasizes the need to order vacuum cups separately as they are not part of the suction plates.
