BLQ is a rubber gripper featuring an inflatable rubber bladder construction that allows each model to manipulate a great number of shapes.
ADVANTAGES
-BLQ-E: Multiple part sizes handled with one gripper, due to its capability to grip around an object that is 40% of its deflated diameter.
-BLQ-I: can increase its diameter by as much as 1.86 times its deflated shape allowing for one gripper to handle multiple part sizes.
-Delicate handling by controlling the amount of pressure within the bladder.
-Soft and secure touch even with heavy loads thanks to the distribution of the holding force over a large surface area.
-Non-marring contact due to the soft touch of rubber and air, especially suitable for glass and plastic objects.
-Wide size range, handling objects with inner diameter from 8.5 to 105mm.
-No lubrication required.
-Long life even in dusty environments due to lack of seals or bearings.
*Preconditioning: end effector must be inflated unrescticted at maximum recommended working pressure for max 30 cycles
**Load capability is evaluated in the working diameter range at maximum allowed pressure
Operating pressure 2 – 8 bar
Sound emissions (sound pressure) ≤ 70 db (A) in each direction
