Foam Seals or Suction Cups? Choosing the Contact Surface for a Vacuum Area Gripper The choice between sealing foam and suction cups starts with where the gripper can establish a reliable seal across the full range of workpieces. Foam can be useful when a distributed contact pattern suits the surface and product variation. Individual cups can be useful when specific […]
Vacuum Grippers vs. Gripping Systems: What Makes euroTECH’s eT-Gripper Different? The Rise of Vacuum Grippers Vacuum grippers have become an essential component in today’s industrial automation landscape, especially where precision, efficiency, and safety are paramount. Used in a wide range of robotic and automated systems, these devices enable non-invasive handling of various materials without causing damage. From logistics centers to […]
How Does a Vacuum Area Gripping System Work? A vacuum area gripping system uses multiple suction points or a foam sealing surface to grip a workpiece over a wider area. The vacuum source removes air from the connected gripping zones, and the pressure difference produces holding force. Area grippers can be configured for cartons, wood panels and other workpieces with […]
