Abstract
Vacuum handling systems are widely used in production systems. Most of the systems key performance indicators (KPIs) relevant for industry 4.0 use cases can be derived from its vacuum level characteristics. Vacuum suction cups are key components of vacuum gripping systems and have a significant influence on the system behavior. For modelling suction cups, mainly constant volume chambers are currently used. However, these do not represent the suction cups dynamic behavior exactly enough. Therefore, a novel model is presented allowing the vacuum curve simulation mainly based on the force-displacement characteristic curve. The presented model is validated in an industrially relevant scenario.
