Efficient Handling of Wooden Bars with the eT-Gripper Vacuum Boxes Solution
In industries dealing with wood processing, efficient and reliable handling of materials is crucial. A common challenge is the lifting and movement of wooden bars with varying dimensions and surfaces. For an application involving such as wooden bars measuring 2000 x 20 x 20 mm, traditional vacuum boxes have been used. However, a more effective solution is available: the eT-Gripper vacuum boxes suction system by Eurotech.
A Proven Solution: eT-Gripper
Eurotech’s eT-Gripper has been successfully implemented in numerous projects, including WOODEX, demonstrating its reliability and efficiency in handling various types of wood. Unlike conventional vacuum boxes, the eT-Gripper offers unparalleled adaptability for lifting loads with diverse characteristics—whether rough-sawn, dusty, or uneven.
Key Advantages of the eT-Gripper Vacuum Boxes
1. Versatile Surface Handling
The eT-Gripper is designed to lift materials with different surface textures and shapes. It can handle wooden bars, loosely placed boards, and even irregularly shaped items without requiring frequent equipment adjustments.
2. Customizable Suction Technology
Depending on the application, the eT-Gripper can be equipped with either:
- Suction mats: Ideal for lifting rough-sawn or porous materials by ensuring a vacuum-tight seal and compensating for surface irregularities.
- Bellow suction cups: Suitable for lifting thinner or fragile boards while maintaining stability.
3. Low Maintenance & Cost-Effective
The modular design of the eT-Gripper makes it easy to replace worn-out components. While suction mats provide excellent adaptability, individual suction cups can be replaced without needing to change the entire mat—reducing costs and downtime.
4. Increased Operational Efficiency
The eT-Gripper’s advanced design allows it to be integrated into robotic systems, lifting devices, and conveyor systems. This results in significant time savings in industrial processes such as:
- Packing
- Loading & unloading
- Palletizing
- Sorting & material handling
Designed for Industrial Use
Built with durable, lightweight metal profiles, the eT-Gripper is designed for long-term industrial use. It is easy to clean and maintain, making it a hygienic and efficient lifting tool for the wood, furniture, and logistics industries.
