Re: Universal Robotic Gripper
The compressor can't suck. It only compresses air, it doesn't create vacuums.
A few years ago (2007), a device was included in the KOP to create suction from air pressure, as well as two suction cups. (I forgot what it is called, but I know we still have ours in our shop).
I like this gripper. I still like roller claws better.
Edit: I looked it up. The device in the 2007 KOP was a Venturi valve.
