1 .2.1 .PowerPick20 Gripper
The PowerPick20 Gripper is a mechanical assembly equipped with interchangeable components. It is the end-effector of the
robot. It uses the negative pressure generated by the PowerPick20 Vacuum Generator to create a vacuum and, through the
multiple suction cups, lifts, holds and moves boxes and other objects weighting up to18.2 kg (40 lb). To simplify this manual, the
word " box" will be used to represent the item to be handled with the Gripper. The PowerPick20 Gripper is directly installed on the
wrist of the robot, without a coupling interface.
