euroTECH’s Vacuum Suction Cup: Optimizing Performance for Insulated Glass Production

At euroTECH, we continuously strive to innovate and provide tailored solutions to meet the dynamic needs of the glass industry. One of our latest developments is a specially designed vacuum suction cup made of NR (Natural Rubber), optimized for use in high-performance Insulated Glass Lines produced by an Austrian company.

Meeting the Demands of the World’s Fastest Insulating Glass Line (IGU)

The IGU line is currently the fastest insulating glass line in the world, designed for superior output with exceptional quality. Its cycle time is an impressive 16 seconds for double-glazed insulating glass units measuring 900×600 mm, with hot melt sealing ensuring the stability of the final product.

This rapid cycle time requires components that can match the speed and precision of the production line, which is where euroTECH’s NR vacuum suction pad comes into play. Adapted specifically for use on this cutting-edge machine, our NR suction pad offers superior grip, durability, and adaptability, even during fast, high-cycle processes.

How the NR Suction Cup Enhances Efficiency

The IGU Line consists of several high-precision units, including a washing machine with eight brushes, a quality scanner, an applicator for flexible spacers, and a gas filling press. In such a highly automated system, the suction cups play a critical role in ensuring the safe and efficient transport of glass sheets through the production process.

Our Natural Rubber (NR) suction cups are designed to:

Provide a secure and reliable grip on glass sheets, even when the line operates at high speed.

• Offer flexibility and adaptability to handle various glass sizes and weights.

• Ensure minimal marking or damage to the glass surface, critical for maintaining product quality, especially in high-speed lines.

By adapting our NR suction cups for this Austrian-made line, euroTECH guarantees that glass handling remains smooth and efficient, helping manufacturers achieve higher throughput without sacrificing product quality.
