Special designed friction cup with multi bellows for oily metal sheets. Suitable for application where great level compensation is needed such as de-stacking sheets from magazines (press-line) and picking car body parts from racks.
Very low vacuum level needed to fully compress the extra-long bellows causes the cup not to push away parts from position.
The "BXF" design is suitable for flat as well as uneven/curved surfaces.
Internal friction pattern on the lip can withstand high shear forces, typically 3–5 times more than corresponding conventional suction cups.
Best choice if > 0.1g/m2 press oil is used on the sheet but also a great choice for dry metal sheets.
DURAFLEX® is a material that features the elasticity of rubber and wear resistance of polyurethane. The material has a fantastic elastic memory, even after hundreds of thousand cycles.
It depends on the weight of the product that should be lifted and how many suction cups that can be used for the object. Calculate the weight to be lifted per suction cup and then take the weight multiplied with the gravity force (g = 9,81) and you have the lifting force needed in Newton (N).
Our recommendation is to start at the application listing to find the products we recommend to different applications. If you have questions please do not hesitate to contact our partners to find the optimum solution.
All suction cups not in contact with an object (open) will draw in a lot of air and demand a larger pump than actually necessary. By using different valves, such as piSAVE® sense, in the suction cups, the suction cups will be normally closed until they come in contact with the handled object. Only the cups needed in the specific lifting cycle will be open and flow air. Please see the video piSAVE® sense.
