Vacuum Pumps are key components in many robotic and automation systems, responsible for creating the vacuum pressure needed to hold, lift, or move objects.
They form the core of vacuum gripper systems, ensuring that suction cups or vacuum pads maintain a secure and consistent grip during handling processes.

Depending on the application, vacuum pumps can be electric, pneumatic (venturi-based), or mechanical, offering various performance levels suited for both light-duty and heavy-duty industrial tasks.

Vacuum pumps are widely used in robotic material handling, packaging, logistics, and manufacturing.
Typical applications include:

By maintaining a stable vacuum level, these pumps ensure that products are handled safely, efficiently, and without damage.

With features such as adjustable vacuum levels, monitoring sensors, and plug-and-play connectivity, vacuum pumps help achieve consistent automation results with minimal operator input.

Modern vacuum pumps are compatible with most vacuum grippers and robotic systems, including those from OnRobot, Schmalz, PIAB, and Robotiq.
They can be mounted directly onto the robot arm or integrated into external pneumatic circuits, depending on the setup.

Electric vacuum pumps are ideal for collaborative robots (cobots) due to their quiet operation and easy power connection, while venturi systems remain common in industrial automation for high-speed, continuous production.

Many models support IO-Link or Modbus communication, allowing real-time monitoring of vacuum levels and predictive maintenance within smart factory systems.

The Role of Vacuum Pumps in Modern Automation

In today’s highly automated industries, vacuum pumps are crucial for efficient, precise, and safe material handling.
They enable robots to move items of varying shapes and weights quickly and reliably, ensuring smooth operation across different stages of production.
From packaging and palletizing to delicate electronics assembly, vacuum pumps help maintain the speed, consistency, and reliability that define modern automated workflows.
