As we work with our new products, it’s not uncommon for us to find small bugs and issues that we don’t see documented elsewhere on the internet. When that happens, we work hard to find a solution or workaround, and post it to this blog! 

The Dobot uses a suction cup attached to an air pump to create a vacuum seal on objects you want to grab, and releases that seal when it’s time to drop the object.

But what if that vacuum seal isn’t working? What can you do to fix it?

As we go and encounter more reasons we will list them here and post our solutions! Feel free to share with us if it worked for you we love to hear your feedback.

• Scenario 1:I can hear the air pump humming, but the suction cup isn’t sucking hard enough to create a vacuum.
• Scenario 2: The suction cup doesn’t seem to be doing anything at all.
• Scenario 3: The suction cup is blowing air out!

Do you have an issue with your Dobot for which you can’t find a solution?
