In the following video, Vuototecnica’s Octopus bars demonstrate their ability to accurately and quickly handle the de-palletizing of wood boards of different sizes.
Thanks to the operational flexibility of Octopus system (which can be equipped with calibrated vacuum hole technology or self-excluding valves) , the vacuum focuses only on the areas actually in contact with the surface, ensuring a perfect fit even on uneven surfaces.
The sponge rubber plate, available in various thicknesses, makes it possible to compensate for any height differences between stacked boards, improving gripping efficiency and speeding up the process.
One of the main advantages over traditional de-palletizing systems with suction cups (usually bellows) is the gripping stability offered by Octopus bars configured in this way.
As you can see, the vacuum sponge brings the boards directly onto the rigid support surface of the suction box, avoiding any risk of dangling during translation and thus ensuring stable and precise handling.
Octopus systems are designed to offer maximum operational flexibility: they can handle objects of any shape and size and reduce energy consumption by ensuring optimal grip on any surface.
