2.5-Fold Bellow Suction Cups for Wood, Chipboard, and MDF Boards
Bellow suction cups are crucial in the wood processing industry, particularly in handling materials such as MDF boards, chipboard, and plywood. Their unique design, featuring an accordion-like structure, offers significant advantages in this sector. In the context of MDF boards and chipboards, which are known for their dense and sometimes coarse surfaces, bellow suction cups excel by providing a strong hold. The bellows’ ability to compress and expand means they can maintain contact with the material even if there are minor surface irregularities. This capability is particularly beneficial when moving large and heavy panels, where a stable grip is necessary to prevent slipping and ensure safety.
What are Bellow Suction Cups?
Bellow suction cups are often referred to as bellows vacuum cups. They come with folds and are types of vacuum cup designed for gripping and handling objects with uneven or curved surfaces. These cups have a flexible, accordion-like structure that allows them to compress and expand easily, adapting to the shape of the workpiece.
Bellow Suction Cups on Wood Board Handling Line
The vacuum handling system utilizes bellow suction cups that are designed with an accordion-like structure. This unique design ensures excellent contact with the often uneven and textured surfaces of wood panels, including chipboards and plywood. The flexibility of the bellows allows the suction cups to conform to the surface irregularities, providing a reliable grip and minimizing the risk of slippage during handling.
To further enhance the handling process, suspension bolts with springs are integrated into the system. These components add an additional layer of flexibility and shock absorption. The springs allow the suction cups to move independently, accommodating slight movements and vibrations during the handling process. This is crucial in high-speed production environments where stability and precision are paramount.
The photo above showcases a vacuum handling system designed for the wood processing industry, specifically engineered for handling wood panels such as chipboards and plywood. This system employs bellow suction cups and suspension bolts with springs to ensure efficient and secure handling of materials in a production line.
