🌟 Partnership Success! 🌟
El Pinto Foods recently partnered with In-Position Technologies and COVAL to tackle a major production challenge: automating the manual loading of single-serve salsa cups. Together, they implemented a Universal Robot with a custom MVG pneumatic gripper from COVAL, streamlining the process from 3-4 operators to just 2. This innovative solution boosted efficiency and set the stage for future advancements at El Pinto.
The MVG gripper featured a custom suction cup pattern and was sized to fit the exact need of the production line, with a powerful CMS HD generator to ensure the necessary holding force no matter which product was on the line.

Take a moment to consider how using a vacuum switch as an accessory can benefit your installation.
Particularly useful for vacuum handling, vacuum switches are pressure sensors that measure the level of vacuum in a system and deliver real time electronic or pneumatic feedback. Vacuum switches allow the user to monitor the vacuum level and validate the efficiency and safety of the system for gripping the part.
Vacuum switch screens are useful communication tools, and are especially visual and intuitive. For routine applications, an integrated vacuum switch is essential to making it easier to monitor operations.
COVAL offers a wide range of vacuum switches with different technologies: electric, electronic, pneumatic, analog, or digital.
