ZPT08UGN-A6: Vertical Vacuum Port Type Suction Pad, Precision Suction Expert in Compact Spaces

Product Positioning
The ZPT08UGN-A6 is a vertical vacuum port type, flat suction pad from SMC’s ZPT series, featuring a non-cushion (rigid) structure and made of conductive NBR (Nitrile Butadiene Rubber). It integrates a compact pad body with a vertical M6×1 threaded connection point, specifically designed for applications in automated equipment where installation space is limited and precise pick-up of微小 workpieces is required. It is an ideal end effector for electronic component handling, precision assembly, and suction in clean environments.

Core Highlights: Vertical Port, Conductive/Anti-Static

• Vertical Vacuum Port, Space-Saving Installation
  • Features a vertical vacuum port connection, with the vacuum line connecting directly from the back of the pad.
  • Compared to side-port types, it significantly reduces the radial footprint, making it ideal for applications with narrow workstations or dense multi-pad arrangements.
• Conductive NBR Material, Anti-Static Clean Suction
  • The pad material is conductive Nitrile Rubber (Conductive NBR), offering not only the excellent wear resistance and oil resistance of NBR but also anti-static properties.
  • Low surface resistance effectively prevents static electricity buildup, avoiding the risk of electrostatic discharge damage when handling electronic components. Suitable for static-sensitive environments like semiconductors and electronic parts.
• Flat Pad Design, Stable Gripping of Thin Workpieces
  • Employs a flat pad shape, providing large contact area and good sealing with the workpiece surface.
  • Particularly suitable for picking up flat, thin, lightweight workpieces such as chips, wafers, electronic labels, and small plastic parts.
• Non-Cushion Structure, Rigid Direct Transmission
  • “Without Buffer” in the model indicates a rigid connection between the pad and the fitting, with no elastic cushioning mechanism.
  • Suitable for applications requiring high positioning accuracy where the workpiece is sufficiently rigid, allowing precise transmission of the robot’s motion.
• M6×1 Standard Thread, Easy Installation
  • The vacuum port uses an M6×1 metric thread, conforming to SMC and industrial standards, allowing direct connection to various vacuum ejectors, fittings, or pad brackets.
  • The mounting connection type is recessed, providing a compact and secure fixation.
• Lightweight Design, Low Load Inertia
  • Individual pad weight is only 3.5 grams, minimizing the impact on the robot’s end-of-arm tooling load inertia, facilitating high-speed, high-precision motion control.
