Abstract: A vacuum gripper comprising a base body having a suction side and an upper side, the suction side having a plurality of suction points and in each case a fixed number of suction points being combined to form a suction point group, a number of suction chambers (SC) corresponding to the number of suction point groups, each SC being assigned a suction point group, a distributor chamber (DC), the DC having at least a number of DC openings corresponding to the number of SC and a DC opening being flow-connected to a respective SC opening of a SC assigned thereto, and a plurality of valves, a valve being assigned to each suction point group and each valve having a valve channel. The respective valve is designed as a valve module having its own valve housing and the valve housing can be arranged on the upper side of the base body.

Abstract: The invention relates to a suction gripper (10) having a gripper base body (12) with a suction side (14) and a plurality of suction points (16), a vacuum connection (18), and a vacuum distribution system (28) with distribution spaces (30) for connecting the suction points (16) with the at least one vacuum port (18). In this case, the gripper base body (12) is sandwiched and has a bottom plate (20), a cover plate (24) and a profile core (22), wherein the profile core (22) has a plurality of wall sections (32), which extend between cover plate (24) and bottom plate (20) in such a way that a plurality of cavities (34) are formed in the gripper body (12) and wherein the manifold spaces (30) of the vacuum manifold system (28) are formed by at least a subset of the cavities (34).
