Dobot - The suction cup bug scenarios

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.

Dobot suction cup is blowing air out!

This is the strangest and most elusive problem we have encountered. I suspect it occurs when the Dobot attachment has recently been switched from the gripper to the suction cup. The gripper uses the air pump to both open and close, using both positive and negative air pressure. The suction cup only uses negative air pressure (or none at all).
