MG120x600-OV7X25 Large-Area Foam Vacuum Gripper — 120 x 600 mm

The Vacuforce MG120x600-OV7X25 is a 120 x 600 mm large-area foam vacuum gripper for automated handling of cartons, cases and other suitable workpieces. Its 20 mm-thick foam contact pad helps form a compliant seal, while the self-closing valves help limit vacuum loss where the workpiece does not cover the full working face.

The medium-length contact face can support varying product lengths where a narrow linear gripping profile fits the application. The available holding force still depends on effective sealed area, achievable vacuum, workpiece leakage, acceleration and the required safety factor; partial coverage alone does not guarantee a secure lift.

How the foam-and-valve gripper works

The foam strip contacts the workpiece and its openings communicate with the gripper's self-closing valves. Openings covered by the load can contribute to gripping; uncovered positions close to limit unwanted vacuum loss. The foam also accommodates moderate surface variation. The valve array reduces leakage, but porous cartons, gaps and poor contact can still require greater vacuum flow.

Key Specifications and Selection Guidance

  • Partial-coverage capability: individual self-closing positions help isolate uncovered areas rather than drawing air through every exposed opening.
  • Foam contact face: offers a compliant seal against suitably shaped cartons, sheets and other workpieces; surface porosity must be considered.
  • Vacuum connections: external vacuum ports allow connection to a suitably sized ejector or blower; generator selection depends on leakage and cycle requirements.
  • Installation: T-slot extruded aluminum profile facilitates integration into robotic or fixed end-of-arm tooling.
  • Physical size: 120 mm wide and 600 mm long; choose a footprint that suits the load size, pickup orientation and access clearance.
  • Listed weight: 8.6 lb (from the existing product description). Verify total EOAT weight with fitted accessories.

Typical Applications

  • Carton and case handling where product footprints change between cycles
  • Sheet and panel transfer where the surface can support a dependable foam seal
  • Packaging and material-handling systems using a centrally supplied large-area gripper

Important: Verify gripping force for the actual load using effective contact area, achievable vacuum, leakage, acceleration, orientation and a suitable safety factor. Self-closing valves reduce losses at uncovered points but do not remove the need for testing. Match the vacuum generator capacity to the full system.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does this MG gripper handle workpieces smaller than its face?

Foam openings align with individual self-closing valves. Where the load does not cover an opening, the associated valve can close to limit leakage, helping the remaining covered area maintain useful vacuum. The workpiece still needs adequate contact area and holding force.

Does the large-area foam gripper generate vacuum by itself?

The gripper distributes vacuum through its contact face. An external vacuum source, such as a suitably rated Venturi ejector or blower, is connected to its vacuum ports. Vacuum source sizing depends on the material, leaks, cycle time and number of grippers.

How should I choose between different MG gripper lengths?

This model has a 120 x 600 mm nominal face. Choose the shortest layout that provides suitable covered contact area and machine access, then verify actual load holding under operating conditions. A longer gripper does not automatically increase grip on a smaller workpiece.

Can it lift porous cardboard or timber?

Such materials can leak through their surfaces or around the seal. The foam helps accommodate local variation, while the valve system limits leakage from uncovered openings. Test the real workpiece and size the vacuum source to accommodate any remaining leakage.

Can the foam seal be replaced?

Yes. Replacement foam pads are available for matching MG gripper models. Confirm the gripper size, pad part number and opening pattern, and inspect the valves and vacuum connections during maintenance.
