The article describes a device for transferring manipulation objects using a vacuum suction cup. The suction cup is carried by the arm of the swing mechanism. The swing mechanism is realized by transforming the linear motion from a pneumatic pistonless drive to a rotary motion. The rack and pinion transformation block was used for this. The article describes the retrofit procedure of the originally designed structure, which had unsatisfactory parameters. In addition, the issue of saving the compressed air needed to generate the vacuum in the suction cup was addressed. Modification of the circuit can be performed by the manipulation cycle without the need for permanent activation of the ejector. The solution in its current form is used for the educational purposes of the department in the training of skills in the deployment of pneumatic mechanisms and in their programming.
