Design a vacuum gripper that would pick up 18-gauge sheet metal, 10 inches on a side, from a stack with a random number of pieces present. Assume a vacuum of 0.7 bars and a safety factor of 10 percent. Use vendor data in Appendix A to select components and to document the number, size, and layout of the cups. Also indicate how the system is configured with a proximity sensor to signal the robot that the top of the stack was reached and to turn on the vacuum valves.
