SUCTION CUP GRIPPER HEAD
Zero Gravity can be equipped with different types of sheet metal gripping heads. Vacuum technology gripping heads are solutions designed to manoeuvre sheets with continuous surfaces and to ensure maximum delicacy on materials.
Specifically, Zero Gravity can be equipped with:
Suction cups in line with telescopic arms:
configuration with 2/4 fixed suction cups and 2/4 on arms that can be removed from the central body, ideal for narrow and long surfaces.
Single/Double suction cups:
single or double suction cup systems for handling small parts in confined spaces.
Fixed H-frame with suction cups:
structure with two parallel side arms and 4/8 sliding suction cups, suitable for larger gripping surfaces.
Suction cup adjustable arms:
central crossbar with rotating arms for precise and customisable positioning of the suction cups.
MAGNETIC GRIPPED HEAD
Zero Gravity can be equipped with different types of sheet metal gripping heads. Gripping
heads with magnetic technology are solutions designed to handle ferromagnetic materials, perforated or discontinuous surfaces.
Specifically, Zero Gravity can be equipped with:
In-line magnets with telescopic arms:
2/4 fixed integrated magnets and 2/4 mounted on removable arms for long and narrow pieces.
Single/Double magnets:
compact gripper ends equipped with single or double magnets for small parts with irregular surfaces where vacuum is not effective.
Fixed H-frame with magnets:
structure with two parallel side arms and 4/8 sliding magnets to adapt the grip geometry with millimetric precision on large surfaces.
Magnetic adjustable arms:
rotating arms and length-adjustable magnets, perfect for use with multiple holes.

Why choose ZERO GRAVITY
Discover how ZERO GRAVITY helps improve work in mechanical workshops
Flexibility
Quick setup, no complex programming: ideal for small and medium series, frequent format changes, and constantly changing geometries.
Ergonomics and safety
Eliminates strain on the back and arms, while pneumatic rotations minimize physical effort and the risk of injury during handling.
Bending accuracy
It accompanies the natural movement of the sheet metal, prevents counter-folds, and keeps the geometry of the piece stable and repeatable over time.
Process reliability
It reduces the time the sheet metal remains suspended and, thanks to the dedicated gripping heads, preserves the surface finish on every material.
Costs and ROI
It takes up less space than a robotic cell, requires little maintenance, and allows you to work with fewer operators, accelerating your return on investment.
