ANVER Vacuum Suction
Cups can be mounted to most vacuum systems using Spring Loaded Suspension
Assemblies. These are high quality, well finished and designed for high
speed automation applications. Adjustable bulkhead fittings mount to almost
any lifting frame while a variety of tube fittings are available to connect
to the vacuum generating system. These unique mounting systems act as
extensions while providing support while handling a load. |

Advantages of Suspension
Assemblies include:
-
Suspensions reduce machine indexing when picking up material from a
stack
-
They compensate
for variations in object height and offer a soft touch attach
-
Shock and noise
to an object and machine is minimized
-
Cup pressure is
consistent on each pick up which increases the cups life
-
Suspensions can
provide an easy way to interface the vacuum cup and vacuum lines to the
machine tooling
Our SLSA-1 Series connect to the
vacuum system via 5 mm, 10-32 UNF female threads. For
G 1/8" male threads use our SLSA-2 series. |
|
ANVER can adapt these
vacuum cup suspensions
to your particular needs with tube fittings, mini vacuum generators, sensing valves and
custom adapters. Please contact our technical sales department for
assistance.
