Genuine Flexy vacuum cup

You are choosing the right type of Industrial Vacuum Cup for your company. So first, join AVA to find out the features and uses as well as the most suitable type of vacuum nipple.

What is vacuum cupping?

A vacuum cup or vacuum nipple is an object that helps lift, lower, hold and move products. Commonly used as grippers in manual or automatic handling applications. A wide range of products can be protected and moved — everything from bottles and bags to bricks and wood panels, and sheet metal, pipes and glass windows. In essence, they are the interface between the vacuum system and the object.

Vacuum Cup, Vacuum Suction Cup is its English name.

Operating principle of this industrial vacuum cup

Technically, A vacuum cup does not self-attach and adhere to the surface of the product. Basically, when the suction cup comes into contact with the surface of the product, it activates a vacuum generator (such as a blower or pump) and sucks air from inside the cup out, creating a vacuum. Given that the air pressure inside is lower than the pressure outside the cup, the atmospheric pressure holds the workpiece against the cup. The greater the difference between the ambient pressure and the vacuum pressure inside the cup, the greater the holding force that presses the cup on the product.

When the object reaches its new location, the air supply to the vent is cut off and vacuum generation stops, which allows the object to release.

Ideally, the suction cup should rest on a smooth, non-porous surface. Then, when the vacuum is created, the rim of the cup completely seals and the air inside is quickly evacuated, resulting in a tight hold of the product. However, in reality, the material is often permeable, rough or uneven. In these cases, the cups cannot be completely sealed and outside air continuously enters the system. That's called a leaky system. Designers must compensate for system leaks by using high-flow vacuum generators or using smaller cups to reduce the possibility of leaks.

Characteristics of the vacuum cup nipple

• It has a strong ductile force and a precise level of quality. It also allows for vertical displacement of the product, made possible by its high reaction capacity to horizontal forces.
• The vacuum cup nipple consists of a nipple connected to a vacuum cup foot
• Less deformed and less susceptible to air permeation.
• Does not leave stains on the protruding surface of the suction cup.
• Highly conductive and antistatic compound.

Common types of vacuum cups

• Suction cups range from simple, round types to those designed for special applications such as handling candy, greasy metal sheets, or porous wood and cardboard.
• Flat suction cups are suitable for handling products that have flat or slightly curved surfaces, such as metal and glass panels, plastic panels and wooden boards. Flat cups have quite a small internal volume, so they easily release steam quickly and can stick tightly for a short time. Because they have been designed for the best fit, they have good stability to handle high cutting forces and withstand the forces and accelerations from fast automatic processing movements.
• On the other hand, vacuum cup having one or more helices allows compensation for different product heights and handling of parts with uneven surfaces.
• There are two shapes including round and oval. The different sizes make them suitable for handling products ranging from small to large in weight. And they come in a variety of rubber and elastomer materials to suit specific application requirements, from FDA-compliant cups for food handling, abrasion-resistant materials for moving bricks to oil-resistant grades in metalworking operations.

The number of hut chan does not depend on material characteristics

Materials typically fall into one of two categories: porous or non-porous. Porous materials include cardboard, wood and Styrofoam, all of which require higher vacuum flows, but do not necessarily require high level vacuum to be lifted. Non-porous materials such as steel, aluminum and hard plastics can be lifted through the lower vacuum line.

Introducing AVA's Flexy Vacuum Cupping

Our Flexy vacuum cup is made of Polyurethane material

Made from Polyurethane material that has the ability to bridge the gap between rubber and plastic with its wide hardness range with outstanding characteristics such as toughness, high abrasion resistance, fuel and oil resistance, high shock absorption quality, high ozone and oxygen resistance. Therefore, this can increase the life of the equipment which means saving operating time.

Flexy is a foreign brand, widely used and trusted by customers, meeting technical standards

There are many types of vacuum cups with different sizes to suit customers' needs.

Application Giac hut chan no

Our vacuum cups are widely used in packaging plants, auto assembly, labeling and printing, plastics, packaging, robotics, medical and pharmaceutical manufacturing, material handling and many other industrial applications.

Typical vacuum processing systems are used in many industries, including packaging, food, beverage, woodworking, metalworking, automotive, semiconductors, and electronics. Vacuum cups have several advantages in that they are relatively simple, compact, lightweight, inexpensive, and require little maintenance. They are capable of gripping parts tightly in high-speed moving applications, as well as gently handling fragile parts.
