Pneumatics & Vacuum

PV21 (pronounced P-V-Twenty one) is a compact Integrated Pneumatic & Vacuum EOAT that allows any integrator to quickly design a custom EOAT with both pneumatic and vacuum gripping. 

Compressed
Air Outlet

Individually control two compressed air outlets

Vacuum
Outlet

Ideal for vacuum gripping with one vacuum outlet

300
grams

Maximize robot payload utilization

IP
54

Perfect for usage in industrial environments

2 Sensor
Ports

No more long wires for sensors

Minimalistic Design - Ultimate Integration

PV21 boasts an extremely light weight of 300g, however, can be used to actuate any pneumatic tooling and controllable vacuum outlet. PV21 is ideal with the increasing deployment of robots for machine tending applications for the machining and injection moulding industry.

Parts of pneuvaQ PV21

I/O Connector​

Connect directly to the Tool I/O Port of Universal Robots (eSeries & CB3). For other robots, connect directly to the controllers and communicate over Modbus RTU.

Compressed Air Inlet​

Connect just one pneumatic tube to actuate both the vacuum and the compressed air outlet. Eliminate the need for multiple pneumatic tubes and wire packages running across the robot's body.

Compressed Air Outlet

PV21 comes with 2 compressed air outlets that can be used to actuate any pneumatic tooling

Robot Mounting Face​

Mount the suitable Robot Coupler to interface pneuvaQ with the specific robot.

Parts of PV21 A
Parts of PV21 B

Exhaust Silencer

Exhaust port with built-in silencers allows pneuvaQ to be both silent and efficient.

Status Indicator​

To indicate the functioning of pneuvaQ and communication between pneuvaQ and the robot.

Vacuum Outlet

PV21 provides a single vacuum outlet that can be controlled easily to be used for any form of vacuum tooling.

Sensor Ports

Sensors installed on the pneumatic tool to know its state (open/close) can be connected directly to pneuvaQ, avoiding need for lengthy wiring to the robot controller.

Robot compatibility

pneuvaQ PV21 comes with URCap which enables it to plug and play with all models of Universal Robots.

PV21 comes with the industry standard Modbus RTU (RS-485). We chose one of the most fundamental communication protocols. This again is an intentional product design call that enables pneuvaQ to be used for robots, cobots, gantries, or custom-designed machines. 

One can use any globally available standard converters from RS-485 to other communication protocols such as TCP/IP, IO link, and so on to control the pneumatic tools.
