Insulated Glass Unit Line
Vacuum Suction Cups for Insulating Glass
Insulating glass units (IGUs) consist of two or more glass panes separated by spacers and sealed to create an insulating air or gas-filled space. Throughout IGU production, reliable vacuum handling is required for loading, transferring, positioning, assembling, and processing individual glass panes and finished units.
Vacuum suction cups provide controlled gripping and positioning throughout the production line. Cup size, shape, material, and configuration should be selected according to the glass dimensions, weight, surface condition, handling direction, and machine requirements.

Vacuum Handling in Insulating Glass Production
Vacuum suction cups can be used at different stages of insulating glass production where glass panes or completed units need to be securely transferred and positioned.
Typical handling applications include:
- Glass loading and transfer
- Positioning before washing and processing
- Pane transfer and assembly
- Handling during sealing and inspection
- Unloading and transfer of completed IGUs
Reliable vacuum handling helps maintain controlled movement and accurate positioning throughout automated insulating glass production.

If you are looking for a replacement suction cup, send us the existing part number, cup dimensions, drawing, or a photo of the installed component to help us identify a suitable solution.
Reduce Suction Marks in Insulating Glass Production
Surface cleanliness is particularly important during insulating glass production. Fingerprints, dirt, and suction cup contact marks can become difficult to remove if they remain on glass surfaces that become enclosed or inaccessible after the IGU is assembled.
MTC suction cup covers provide a protective layer between the suction cup and the glass surface, helping reduce direct contact, contamination, and visible suction marks during handling. This can help reduce additional cleaning and rework before final assembly.
