Why Do Vacuum Suction Cups Swell, Harden or Crack? When an industrial vacuum suction cup becomes swollen, hard or cracked, replacing it with the same model may restore production temporarily. However, if the operating conditions remain unchanged, the problem can return. The first step is to identify what has changed in the cup and what it has been exposed to. […]
Vacuum Suction Cups for Hot Plastic Parts: Material Selection Guide Selecting vacuum suction cups for hot plastic parts requires more than checking a material’s maximum temperature. The cup must establish a seal, support the workpiece during movement and release it reliably. At the same time, the plastic component may still be warm, relatively flexible or sensitive to contact marks. For […]
NBR vs HNBR vs FKM Vacuum Suction Cups: How to Choose Choosing between NBR, HNBR and FKM vacuum suction cups starts with understanding what the suction cup actually encounters: the workpiece surface, contact temperature, oils or chemicals, handling motion and production cycle. NBR is a common choice for general industrial handling. HNBR can be considered when improved resistance to heat […]
Suction cup covers and non-marking suction cups address surface quality in different ways. A cover adds a separate contact layer over a suitable cup. A non-marking cup uses a material compound intended to reduce traces during direct contact. The right choice depends on the surface, the cause of the marks and the handling conditions. For an existing glass-handling line, the […]
Reducing suction-cup marks is primarily a quality improvement, but the impact can extend well beyond product appearance. In glass manufacturing, every additional cleaning operation, rework process or rejected product requires resources that could otherwise have been avoided. This means that improving handling quality can also contribute to better resource efficiency and lower energy consumption across the production process. euroTECH’s MTC Suction […]
In almost every flat glass processing facility, from float glass production lines and architectural glass processors to laminated glass manufacturers, shower enclosure producers, and solar panel factories, glass stacking is both the first and the final handling operation. Although often overlooked compared to cutting, tempering, laminating, or coating processes, stacking plays a fundamental role in determining the efficiency, quality, and […]
Including engineering references to commonly used geometry designations such as FSGA. In modern factory automation, packaging logistics, and high-speed transfer lines, workpieces are rarely perfect—they frequently present slight surface curvatures, height tolerances, or angular misalignments. Under these demanding conditions, conventional flat suction cups often fail due to improper sealing and subsequent vacuum leakage. To address this, 1.5-fold bellows suction cups have become […]
In factory automation and high-frequency Pick-and-Place systems, Flat Suction Cups remain the most widely consumed components globally. Due to their compact profile, ultra-fast response times, and exceptional lateral stability under high acceleration, they are the go-to choice for generic automated handling. Among the flat vacuum cup geometries commonly encountered in industrial automation are designations such as PFYN and PFG, which are used […]
