The Classification of Vacuum Gripper Suction Cups

In the world of precision manufacturing, vacuum gripper suction cups play a vital role in the safe and efficient handling of various products. Airbest, a leading manufacturer of vacuum gripping solutions, offers a diverse range of suction cups to cater to the specific needs of our customers. Let's delve into the different classifications of vacuum gripper suction cups.

Flat Vacuum Gripper Suction Cups

Flat suction cups are designed for precision positioning and stability. Their compact design and small internal volume minimize the gripping time, ensuring swift and reliable handling. With a wide sealing lip, these vacuum gripper suction cups exhibit excellent sealing characteristics on smooth workpiece surfaces. Their large diameter and embedded structure allow for high suction forces, making them ideal for handling flat or slightly dished workpieces such as metal sheets, cartons, glass panels, plastic parts, and wooden boards.

Corrugated Vacuum Gripper Suction Cups

Corrugated suction cups are characterized by their adaptability to uneven surfaces. The corrugated design, available in 1.5-fold, 2.5-fold, and 3.5-fold options, provides excellent compensation for different heights and gentle gripping of delicate workpieces. The soft bottom corrugations and the rigid handle and upper corrugations ensure a firm yet flexible grip. These suction cups are commonly used in applications involving dish-shaped and uneven workpieces, such as automotive metal sheets, cartons, plastic parts, aluminum foil/thermoplastic packaging products, and electronic components.

Elliptical Vacuum Gripper Suction Cups

Elliptical suction cups optimize the usable suction area, making them ideal for handling long, convex workpieces. They exhibit enhanced stiffness while maintaining compact dimensions and high suction forces. Like flat and corrugated suction cups, elliptical suction cups offer versatility and a variety of material options. They are typically used for handling narrow, elongated workpieces with small gripping surfaces, such as pipes, geometric workpieces, wooden strips, window frames, cartons, and foil/thermoplastic packaging products.

Specialty Vacuum Gripper Suction Cups

Specialty suction cups are designed for specific applications involving workpieces with unique properties. Their specialized materials and shapes enable them to handle fragile, porous, or deformable surfaces with ease. Whether it's handling delicate glassware, fragile ceramics, or porous wood, specialty suction cups provide the necessary flexibility and adaptability to ensure a safe and secure grip.
