Performance Characteristics of Various Vacuum Suckers
Aug 28, 2019
1. There are many kinds of vacuum suckers. The commonly used vacuum suckers include elliptical suckers, corrugated suckers, flat suckers and special suckers.
1) Elliptical suction cup performance: the best use of absorbable surface; suitable for long convex workpiece; hardened vacuum suction cup; small size and large suction; like flat and corrugated suction cup as a general purpose; a variety of suction materials; embedded structure has a high grasp force (disc type suction cup). Typical application areas of elliptical suckers: handling narrow and small grabbing surfaces: such as pipe fittings, geometric workpieces, wooden strips, window frames, cartons, tinfoil/thermoplastic packaging products.
2) The characteristics of corrugated suction cup: 1.5 fold, 2.5 fold and 3.5 fold; good adaptability to uneven surface; lifting effect when grasping workpiece; compensation at different heights; gentle grasping of vulnerable workpiece; soft bottom ripple; high hardness of handle and upper ripple of suction cup; soft and adaptable tapered seal lip; bottom branch There are many kinds of sucker materials. Typical applications of corrugated suckers: handling dish-shaped uneven parts, such as automotive metal sheets, cartons, plastic parts, aluminum foil/thermoplastic packaging products, electronic parts.
3) The performance of flat suction cup: high positioning accuracy; compact design and small internal volume can minimize the grasping time; achieve high lateral force; in flat workpiece surface, wide sealing lip has the best sealing characteristics; when grasping workpiece, it has good stability; the embedded structure of large diameter suction cup can achieve high suction force (example). Such as: disc structure sucker; bottom support; large and effective sucker diameter; sucker material variety. Typical application areas of frequency converter suckers are: handling flat or slightly rough workpieces, such as metal boards, cartons, glass boards, plastic parts and wood boards.
4) Special suction cup: like ordinary suction cup, it has universality; the material and shape of suction cup are special so that it can be used in specific application area/enterprise; the typical application area of special suction cup is to carry workpieces with special performance. Such as fragile, porous, deformable surface structure.
