Key Features and Benefits of the VYP Series Vacuum Handling Unit

The VYP Series is well-suited for vacuum workpiece handling in automated systems, particularly for applications that require reducing the number of components and minimizing tubing runs on the robot arm.

• All-in-one Structure, Easy Installation
  Combines the ejector, pressure sensor, and vacuum pad into a single unit, simplifying the design process and creating a more compact system around the robot arm.
• Reduces Air Tubing Volume by Up to 90%
  Positioning the vacuum source close to the suction point reduces air tubing volume compared to Koganei's previous products, resulting in reduced compressed air consumption, quieter air exhaust, and more agile robot arm movement.
• Lightweight, Suited for Small Robots
  The unit is designed to be lightweight, reducing the load on the robot arm and making it suitable for use with small robots or collaborative robots.
• Wide Selection of Pads and Robot Adapters
  The number, size, shape, and material of the pads can be selected to suit the workpiece, along with a Robot Adapter suited to the mounting configuration.

Technical Specifications and Supported Models

The VYP Series is available in 3 main models based on payload and workpiece size.

Additional Information:

• Operating Pressure: 0.2 to 0.7 MPa
• Operating Temperature Range: 5 to 50°C
• Pneumatic System: Lubrication-free

Optional Accessories for Installation and Safety

• Fall Prevention Check Valve
  Helps reduce the risk of a workpiece dropping in the event that some pads fail to achieve suction, by maintaining the vacuum level in the system and preventing it from dropping excessively.
• Robot Adapter
  Supports standard ISO flanges and offers options for installation together with KOGANEI's Auto Hand Changer MJC.
• Pad Mounting Plate and Vacuum Pad
  The number, size, shape, and material of the pads can be selected to suit the shape and weight of the workpiece, for more stable handling.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: What applications is the VYP Series suited for?
A: It is suited for vacuum workpiece handling in automation systems, such as robot arms, collaborative robots, or automated machinery that need to reduce the complexity of pneumatic systems.

Q: How does the VYP Series help reduce the air tubing system?
A: The unit combines the ejector, pressure sensor, and vacuum pad into a single unit, positioning the vacuum source closer to the suction point, which helps reduce air tubing volume on the robot arm.

Q: Can it be used together with the Auto Hand Changer MJC?
A: Yes, a Robot Adapter option is available for installation together with the Auto Hand Changer MJC, depending on the supported VYP model.

Q: Is lubricating oil required for the pneumatic system?
A: No. The VYP Series is a lubrication-free system, which helps reduce maintenance burden and keeps the work area cleaner.
