Vacuum gripping device

A vacuum gripping device comprising:

• a plurality of suction bodies disposed adjacent to one another at suction points of a working surface of a gripper housing, each of which has a suction chamber that is to bear on a workpiece that is to be gripped,
• each suction body having a suction valve allocated thereto for each suction point, wherein each suction valve has a vacuum supply side that is to be connected to a vacuum supply device, and a suction side connected to the suction chamber of the suction body allocated thereto,
• wherein the suction valve for each suction point has a valve body that can move between an open position and a closed position, wherein the valve body is disposed on a flexible control membrane, which delimits a control chamber such that the valve body can move from the open position to the closed position, depending on a vacuum occurring in the control chamber as a result of a deformation of the control membrane, and wherein a membrane sheet extending over most or all of the suction points is disposed in the gripper housing such that the control membranes for most or all of the suction valves are formed by control sections of the membrane sheet.
