Specifications

Single-head suction pump: Used for adsorbing objects

Introduction

• The suction cup suction pump is connected to the object to be adsorbed through the suction cup, pipe and other components, and the suction cup is vacuumed, causing the internal air pressure to change from normal pressure to negative pressure, and the pressure difference between the external atmospheric pressure and this negative pressure is used to achieve the purpose of adsorbing the object.

Working principle

• Start the vacuum equipment to suck, so that negative air pressure is generated in the suction cup, so that the object to be lifted is firmly sucked, and the object to be lifted can be transported.

• When the object to be lifted is transported to the destination, the vacuum suction cup is steadily inflated, so that the negative air pressure in the vacuum suction cup changes to zero air pressure or slightly positive air pressure, and the vacuum suction cup is separated from the object to be lifted, thereby completing the task of lifting and transporting heavy objects.

Applicable objects Applicable to flat objects

Hardware installation

First install the suction pump on the end of the robot

Then connect the wire of the suction pump control box to the base IO of the robot

Python control

M5 version

from pymycobot import MyCobot,utils

arm=MyCobot(utils.get_port_list()[0])
for i in range(1):
    arm.set_basic_output(1,0)#Turn on the suction pump
    time.sleep(2)
    arm.set_basic_output(1,1)#Turn off the suction pump
    time.sleep(2)
