The Schmalz FQE Xc is an area vacuum gripper that combines onboard vacuum generation with a compact form factor, weighing 0.33 kg.
Designed as a ready-to-connect solution, it mounts directly to collaborative or small industrial robots without requiring external vacuum pumps or pneumatic lines.
The gripper uses multiple suction cells distributed across its contact area, enabling reliable gripping of flat and slightly contoured workpieces even when the surface is only partially covered.
This distributed cell design maintains holding force across various materials and workpiece geometries.
The lightweight construction minimizes added inertia on robot arms, making it suitable for applications where payload capacity and cycle time are constrained.
