Suction pads are used wherever objects (parts, packing materials etc.) need to be lifted, transported, turned over or handled in some other manner. They are the connecting element between the vacuum generator and the workpiece. Their technical and physical design is therefore of great importance. A basic distinction is made between the following types of suction pads:
- Flat Suction Pads (Round)
- Flat Suction Pads (Oval)
- Bellows Suction Pads (Round)
- Bellows Suction Pads (Oval)
- Suction pads for handling sheet metal
- Suction pads for handling glass
- Suction pads for handling wood
- Suction pads for packaging
- Suction pads for plastic films and paper
- Suction pads for handling CDs/DVDs
- Suction pads for high-temperature applications
- Suction pads for different branches
- Sealing profiles
Each version has its own specific advantages, which can be improved or optimised by the use of suction pads made of various materials. Detailed explanations of the available suction-pad materials can be found after the section “Selection and Configuration”.
