Claw with 4 VPD suction cups in natural rubber, handling an irregular cement tile

 

Automated handling of workpieces with rough or uneven surface requires carefully choose the most appropriate suction cup.

If the lip of the cup is not adequate, the closure is not sufficiently tight. This causes a very high vacuum flow needed. In many cases, the required flow would be so great that makes handling unfeasible.

By choosing the most suitable suction cup in each case, we reduce the cost of vacuum generation (acquisition and operation costs).

VPD suction cups have a special triple lip design for this type of surfaces.

The durability of these vacuum cups in abrasive surfaces is much higher than other systems .
