Vacuum Suction Cups for Float Glass Line
Vacuum Suction Cups for Float Glass Lines
Float glass production lines require reliable vacuum handling after the glass has been formed, cooled, inspected, and cut into sheets. Vacuum suction cups are commonly used in cold-end handling, stacking, unloading, and transfer systems to securely move large glass sheets throughout automated production.
For float glass handling, suction cup size, material, surface contact, handling direction, glass weight, and machine configuration should all be considered when selecting a suitable solution.

Vacuum Handling at the Cold End of Float Glass Lines
After float glass has passed through the annealing process and cooled, automated handling systems are used to transfer, sort, stack, and unload the finished glass sheets.
Vacuum suction cups used in these systems require stable gripping performance during repeated handling cycles. The appropriate cup design depends on the glass dimensions and weight, handling direction, acceleration, surface condition, and configuration of the loading or stacking system.
Typical applications include glass transfer, automatic stacking, unloading, sorting, and movement between processing stations.
Vacuum Suction Cups for Float Glass Handling
Flat Suction Cups for Automatic Glass Stacking
Flat suction cups are well suited for handling smooth glass sheets in automatic stacking and transfer systems. Their low-profile design provides stable contact with the glass surface while limiting unnecessary movement during handling.
EUROTECH offers different flat suction cup sizes, materials, and designs for glass processing and industrial automation applications.
Vacuum Cups for Float Glass Processing Equipment
EUROTECH provides adaptable vacuum suction cups and replacement solutions for selected glass processing, loading, transfer, and stacking equipment.
If you are looking for a replacement suction cup for an existing machine, send us the part number, cup dimensions, drawing, or a photo of the installed component to help us identify a suitable solution.
Reduce Suction Marks During Glass Handling
Repeated vacuum handling can leave visible contact marks or contamination on glass surfaces during transfer and stacking. MTC suction cup covers provide a protective layer between the suction cup and the glass, helping reduce direct contact and visible suction marks during handling.
