Energy-Efficient Vacuum Products and Robotic Gripper Systems

For any application requiring secure handling, lifting, or transport, a reliable industrial vacuum system is paramount. Hydraquip is your comprehensive solution provider, supplying advanced SMC vacuum equipment designed to maximize efficiency, guarantee high performance, and reduce energy consumption across the Irish manufacturing sector. We offer the intelligence and precision required for implementing high-efficiency and predictive maintenance strategies in your facility.

Our extensive catalogue ensures you can build an optimal vacuum system from the ground up, tailored to the weight and shape of your specific workpiece:

Vacuum Ejectors (Generators): We stock a wide range, from simple ejectors to advanced, energy-efficient solutions featuring integrated valve manifold control and Fieldbus communication. These intelligent units allow for air-saving while generating vacuum and can be monitored remotely.

Vacuum Pads (Suction Cups): Component selection begins with the workpiece. We supply a vast range of vacuum suction pads including flat, bellows, oval, sponge, and specialized non-contact types to ensure a secure, damage-free grip on any material.

Vacuum Gripper Systems for Cobots: We provide specialized vacuum gripper systems that are easy to integrate and operate seamlessly with collaborative robots (cobots), offering the flexibility and speed necessary for automated handling tasks.

Control & Monitoring: Achieve precise control with light, compact Vacuum Regulators that control air/vacuum pressure and can communicate remotely. Performance is monitored using reliable Vacuum Switches and Sensors to measure pressure, flow, and vacuum level.

System Protection: Our Vacuum Filters are essential for filtering out harmful particles and air contaminants, significantly extending the service life of your ejectors and lowering maintenance costs. We also offer Vacuum Sealing Valves to keep pressure steady when changing workpieces, further saving energy.

Industries such as Food, Life Science, Automotive, and Electronics benefit significantly from our precise vacuum components. When configuring your system, remember that optimal vacuum operation often takes place at an average of 4 bar, presenting a major opportunity to improve energy efficiency compared to standard shop pressure.

We provide excellent engineering support to guide your design, including assistance with cycle time optimization, required vacuum level, pad sizing, and selection using our vacuum components selector.
