MANIPULATION TASK REALISED BY THE VACUUM SUCTION CUP IMPLEMENTATION

Abstract

Urgency of the research. The area covered by the article addresses both the technical and economic aspects of com-pressed air management, which is the most expensive type of energy used in the manufacturing sector. It is extremely urgent to save energy as it is, not excluding compressed air.Target setting. The aim of the article is to give a comprehensive picture of the problems in solving one-sided gripping by the action of vacuum. It gives instructions on how to proceed with their removal, with the focus on the procedures for savingbasic energy - compressed air.Actual scientific researches and issues analysis. At present, great attention is paid to this area not only by users of applications using compressed air and vacuum, but also by manufacturers of technology working on these principles. Practi-cally all large manufacturers of pneumatic components are dedicated to it.Uninvestigated parts of general matters defining. The article does not pay attention to the production and treatment of compressed air, but only its consumption in the preparation of vacuum. Also, in thecalculations, only the basic relationships are indicated, by which the experienced user will find a solution to their problem.The research objective. The aim of the article is to present the results of research in the field and to indicate the possibil-ities of technical procedures for solving the application of vacuum gripping effectors using active vacuum suction cups.The statement of basic materials. The material which became the article base consists of both general knowledge con-tained in the technical literature, as well as own analyzes of partial data summarized in the conclusions.Conclusions. The conclusions resulting from the article offer instructions for solving a set of problems in the design of vacuum gripping effectors with suction cups.
