Pick & Place: Precision vacuum pumps for reliable production
In modern manufacturing processes, precision, speed, and reliability are key. Pick-and-place systems—whether in robotic arms, vacuum grippers, automatic placement machines, or handling systems in medical technology—grip and position components with the highest precision. Vacuum generation plays a central role in ensuring these applications function smoothly. This is where our custom-made precision vacuum pumps come into play.
Our diaphragm vacuum pumps generate a smooth, controlled vacuum—the foundation for precise and gentle handling of sensitive components. Especially in pick-and-place applications, extremely tight tolerances must be maintained to move components safely without damaging them.
Thanks to low-pulsation flow, precise controllability, and a compact design, our pumps are ideal for applications such as:
- Robotic gripper arms in electronics and semiconductor manufacturing
- Vacuum tweezers for handling microchips, glass, jewelry, or optical components
- Automated placement systems for SMD components
- Laboratory handling systems for samples or microtiter plates
- Assembly systems in precision engineering and the optical industry.
Our SP 100 EC-DU twin-head eccentric diaphragm pump is used in this robotic arm for transporting components.
Standard solutions quickly reach their limits, especially when specific process parameters are required. We develop custom vacuum pumps that are precisely tailored to the requirements of your system:
- Customization of flow rate, vacuum, and control behavior
- Integration into stationary or mobile systems
- Options for low-noise and low-vibration designs
- Materials and seals suitable for chemical or medical environments
- Motors and operating voltage of your choice
Our engineers support you from the concept phase through to series integration—ensuring seamless integration into your automation solution.

Our diaphragm pumps for your pick-and-place application
Our diaphragm pumps are oil-free, low-maintenance, and built to last. The gas-tight pump heads of our precision pumps guarantee a clean vacuum—without the risk of contamination or backflow. Precise controllability allows for an exact vacuum level, ensuring the safe gripping and transport of components. These are crucial advantages in sensitive pick-and-place applications where precision and process reliability are paramount.
With their high pneumatic performance in the smallest of spaces, micro-pumps from Schwarzer Precision ensure the secure fixation of the components to be transported. Precise and consistent, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week—even under high accelerations and in the event of potential leaks on component surfaces.
Whether in electronics assembly, laboratory automation, or industrial microfabrication—our custom-made precision vacuum pumps are the heart of efficient pick-and-place systems. With precisely tailored solutions, we help manufacturers worldwide make their processes faster, more precise, and more reliable.
