200 mm Extension Kit for Vacuum Grippers

Enhance reach with additional tubes and suction cups—see what's included and how to integrate.

 

Context

For applications that require extra reach—such as picking from deep bins, reaching into narrow areas, or bypassing obstructions—Robotiq offers a 200 mm extension kit compatible with the E‑Pick or other vacuum grippers.

This article outlines the contents of the kit, how to use it, and important integration considerations.


1. What's Included

The VAC‑CUP‑KIT‑EXT‑1 kit includes:

  • 3 × 200 mm G1/4 extension tubes – to extend vacuum reach up to 600 mm when combined.

  • 1 × G1/4 to G1/8 adapter – allows connection of smaller suction cups.

  • 1 × 30 mm suction cup – general-purpose.

  • 1 × 15 mm suction cup – ideal for small or delicate parts.

 

 

2. Download the 3D Model

You can download the extension kit’s 3D CAD file to plan installation and simulate reach within your application.

The model is compatible with standard CAD platforms and includes all extension components.

 

3. When to Use This Kit

The extension kit is ideal for:

  • Bin picking from deep containers

  • Reaching over obstacles in cluttered workcells

  • Applications requiring extra clearance without modifying the robot arm or gripper base

Always assess whether the added reach improves performance or introduces risk (e.g., collision, increased moment load).

 

 

4. Integration & Safety Tips

When installing and using the extension tubes:

  • Adjust Tool Center Point (TCP) in the robot program to reflect the new gripper position.

  • Update payload settings and center of mass to ensure safe motion planning.

  • Avoid sudden accelerations or impacts at maximum extension—added length increases mechanical leverage on the robot flange.

  • Test all pick positions to verify that vacuum performance is unaffected at longer distances.

If using multiple tubes (e.g., full 600 mm reach), validate system stability and vacuum response before deployment.

 

 

5. Ordering and Support

To order the extension kit, use the following part number:

  • SKU: VAC‑CUP‑KIT‑EXT‑1

 

 

Conclusion

The 200 mm extension kit provides a flexible way to increase the reach of your vacuum gripper in confined or deep-pick applications. With proper installation and motion calibration, it enables greater application coverage without complex modifications.
