Compact Electric Vacuum Gripper 24V 6kg Payload for Small Parts Handling | VS30A-S1-M1.5

Overview of Electric Vacuum Gripper VS30A-S1-M1.5

The VS30A-S1-M1.5 is a compact electric vacuum gripper with a built-in 24V electric micro vacuum pump. It generates vacuum independently without an external air compressor, vacuum generator, or compressed-air supply, simplifying deployment on cobots, small robotic arms, and compact automation equipment.

Key Features of Electric Vacuum Gripper VS30A-S1-M1.5

• Built-In 24V Electric Micro Vacuum Pump: Vacuum is generated directly inside the gripper, eliminating the need for a separate vacuum generator or external pneumatic supply.
• Air-Free Operation: The VS30A-S1-M1.5 can operate without compressed air, making it easier to deploy on mobile equipment, standalone workstations, and automation systems without existing pneumatic infrastructure.
• Compact but Capable: Its narrow 50 × 30mm body fits restricted installation spaces while providing up to −60kPa vacuum and a maximum payload of 6kg.
• Lightweight Robot Tooling: At only 318g, the gripper adds limited weight to the robot wrist, allowing smaller robotic arms to handle parts without requiring an unnecessarily large robot platform.
• Quick Installation and Integration: The integrated vacuum pump, internal air path, and I/O control reduce the number of external components required during system installation.
• Suitable for Cobots and Robotic Arms: The 24V DC power supply, simple control interface, and compact structure support integration with a wide range of collaborative robots and small industrial robotic arms.
• Fast Suction and Release: A response time of less than 0.3 seconds supports repetitive material transfer, sorting, loading, and pick-and-place operations.

Electric Vacuum Gripper vs Traditional Pneumatic Vacuum System

Electric vacuum grippers are especially suitable for modern automation systems requiring compact design, energy efficiency, and easy integration.

Applications of Electric Vacuum Gripper VS30A-S1-M1.5

• Small Robot Pick-and-Place – Allows compact robotic arms and cobots to lift and transfer small products without adding excessive weight to the robot wrist.
• Electronics Manufacturing – Suitable for handling PCBs, electronic modules, covers, connectors, and other components used in assembly and testing processes.
• Irregular Workpiece Handling – Can grip small or irregularly shaped parts when a suitable suction cup can form a stable seal against the workpiece surface.
• Machine Loading and Unloading – Supports automated loading of molded parts, machined components, trays, and lightweight workpieces into inspection or processing equipment.
• Restricted-Space Automation – Its narrow body can be installed inside compact machines, closely spaced production stations, and other areas where conventional vacuum tooling occupies too much space.
• Sorting and Packaging – Suitable for transferring small packages, flat products, plastic parts, and smooth-surface items between conveyors, fixtures, and packaging stations.

How Does an Electric Vacuum Gripper Work?

The VS30A-S1-M1.5 uses a built-in electric vacuum pump to generate negative pressure without requiring an external air compressor or pneumatic vacuum system. Once powered, the integrated control system automatically manages vacuum generation and release through simple I/O signals.

Working Process

• Vacuum Generation
• The built-in electric vacuum pump generates negative pressure inside the gripper.
• Workpiece Pickup
• The suction cup seals against the workpiece surface, creating vacuum force for secure gripping.
• Material Handling
• The robot or cobot transports the workpiece while the vacuum is maintained automatically.
• Vacuum Release
• The built-in control system opens the internal valve to quickly release the workpiece at the target position.

Electrical Wiring

• Brown Wire — 24V+: Power Supply Positive
• Blue Wire — 24V−: Power Supply Ground
• Black/Yellow Wire: Release Control Signal
