Glass Suction Cups for Industrial Handling

Glass suction cups need to fit both the glass and the machine handling it. Eurotech supplies vacuum cups and suction plates for glass processing machines, automated transfer systems and vacuum lifting equipment.

Browse the models below by size, shape and material. If you are replacing an existing cup, send us its reference number, dimensions, mounting details and a few photos. We can help narrow down the options and identify what needs checking before a replacement is fitted.

Almohadillas de vacío para manipular vidrio

Las ventosas para vidrio son una herramienta esencial para las máquinas y equipos de procesamiento de vidrio utilizados en diversas industrias. Estas ventosas están diseñadas para manipular el frágil material con facilidad, reduciendo el riesgo de rotura y garantizando la máxima eficacia.

Existen muchos tipos diferentes de ventosas para mover vidrio, en función de la máquina que se utilice. Entre estas máquinas se encuentran las de corte, canteado, lavado y acristalado de vidrio. Necesitan ventosas especiales que puedan levantar y mover vidrios pesados sin romperlos.

La elevación y manipulación por vacío es la mejor forma de mover vidrio, y estas ventosas están hechas precisamente para eso. Utilizan aire para hacer un vacío que adhiere la ventosa al cristal con mucha fuerza, asegurándose de que no se caiga ni se rompa. Esto facilita el desplazamiento del vidrio y agiliza el trabajo.

The bottom part of the vacuum suction cups can be made stiff by using a bolt, which helps them fit better with different machines. This means that the suction cups can be used for many different jobs involving glass. It’s really important to use good suction cups when handling glass. Good suction cups are made with really strong materials that can handle lots of use.

How to Choose Suction Cups for Glass Handling

Start with the surface the cup will touch and how the glass moves through the machine. A cup that works on one station may need a different lip profile, material or mounting arrangement at another.

Check the glass surface

Is the contact face smooth, coated, wet or textured? Dust and processing residue can affect sealing and leave marks. For coated glass, check the glass supplier’s handling instructions before choosing the contact material.

Compare the cup profile and material

Look at the sealing lip, support structure and available contact area, as well as the outside dimensions. Choose the material against the actual temperature, cleaning agents and wear conditions, using the individual product specifications.

Check the machine connection

Compare the thread, bolt pattern, base plate, working height and available clearance. For a replacement, photographs of the installed cup and its mounting face can help identify details that a diameter measurement misses.

Confirm the load and movement

Glass weight alone does not determine the required cup. Orientation, acceleration, friction, cup arrangement and operating vacuum all matter. Confirm the selection against the equipment manufacturer’s requirements for the complete handling system.

Replacing Suction Cups on an Existing Machine?

Matching the outside diameter is only the first check. Two cups of the same size can have different effective suction areas, lip profiles and working heights. A replacement also needs to suit the mounting arrangement and the way the machine handles the glass.

Use the replacement finder to narrow down candidates. Have the machine make and model, existing cup reference, dimensions and mounting photos ready so the remaining compatibility checks can be reviewed.

Dealing with Suction Cup Marks on Glass?

A ring where a cup touched the glass does not always have the same cause. Residue, a difference in how water wets the surface and physical damage need different responses. Check the cup, the contacted face and the cleaning process before changing the contact material.

Where direct elastomer contact is contributing to visible marks, a suitable nonwoven cover may help. MTC suction cup covers fit over compatible cups or suction plates. They need to stay clean, and the covered setup must be assessed for the intended load and movement.

Need Help Choosing a Glass Suction Cup?

Send us a few details about the application. For an existing machine, photos of the cup in place, its contact face and its mounting connection are useful.

Machine make and model, if available
Existing suction cup reference and dimensions
Glass dimensions, weight and contacted surface
Handling orientation and movement
Photos or drawings of the cup and mounting arrangement

If some details are unknown, send what you have. We can identify what else is needed to review the options.
