Scott Equipment Company is a distributor for EDCO USA throughout North and South Carolina, supporting manufacturers, OEMs, integrators and maintenance teams with industrial vacuum products and application support. Our team can help select EDCO vacuum cups, pumps, grippers and related components for pick-and-place, material-handling, packaging and robotic applications.
EDCO USA Vacuum Cups, Pumps & Automation Components
EDCO USA designs and manufactures industrial vacuum products for automated handling systems. Its current offering includes vacuum cups and reusable fittings, single- and multi-stage compressed-air vacuum pumps, distributed vacuum grippers, release and flow-control components, vacuum filters, switches, silencers and accessories used in robotic and machine-based pick-and-place systems.
American-Made Vacuum Technology Since 1994
EDCO USA was founded in 1994 by Ed and Sheila Johnson to manufacture vacuum products for the U.S. market. Today the family-owned company designs, manufactures and documents the performance of its products in a 27,000-square-foot factory near St. Louis, Missouri equipped with CNC machining, inspection and injection-molding capabilities.
Vacuum Cups Built Around the Workpiece
EDCO offers multiple cup shapes, sizes and elastomer materials for flat, curved, porous, flexible, high-temperature and appearance-sensitive workpieces.
Compressed-Air Vacuum Generation
Single-stage and multi-stage venturi vacuum pumps provide compact vacuum sources for machine automation, with options for integrated controls, quick release, filtration and system monitoring.
Components for Distributed Vacuum Systems
Vacuum grippers, valves, filters, sensors, fittings and release components support centralized or distributed architectures for robotic and fixed-automation handling systems.

Use these product areas as a starting point for robotic pick-and-place, packaging, palletizing, machine tending and other automated vacuum-handling applications.
Vacuum Cups & Reusable Fittings
EDCO vacuum cups are available in flat, bellows, double-bellows, multi-bellows, deep, flat-concave, universal and oval configurations. Current materials include Ameriflex, Duramax, nitrile/TPV, silicone, conductive silicone and fluorocarbon options for different surface and temperature requirements.
Explore vacuum cup selection →Single-Stage Vacuum Pumps
EDCO V-Series compressed-air vacuum pumps use rugged all-metal construction and a flow-through venturi design. Current V-Series literature lists 24 anodized-aluminum pump models plus cartridge versions intended for integration into custom vacuum manifold systems.
Explore single-stage pumps →AX Series Multi-Stage Vacuum Pumps
AX Series modular multi-stage pumps provide configurable vacuum generation with options for solenoid or air-pilot control, blow-off, vacuum sensing, replaceable filtration and manifold assemblies. Current literature includes manifold configurations from one to ten stations.
Explore AX Series pumps →Distributed Vacuum Grippers
EDCO vacuum grippers combine a compact venturi vacuum source with mounting and release options close to the point of use. Available configurations include atmospheric quick release, limited-pressure purge, positive-pressure purge, sensor ports and swivel or extrusion mounting options.
Explore vacuum grippers →Vacuum Filters, Switches & Exhaust Silencers
Inline and aluminum-base filters help protect pumps from dust and debris, while vacuum switches provide system-monitoring options. EDCO also offers straight-through exhaust silencers intended to reduce vacuum-pump noise without restrictive conventional muffler media.
Explore vacuum-system protection →EOAT Vacuum Components & Release Controls
EDCO supplies vacuum cups, mounts, grippers, quick-release components, check and flow-management devices and other hardware used on end-of-arm tools. EDCO specifically notes that it supplies EOAT components rather than complete robot tooling.
Explore EOAT vacuum components →Help Select and Apply EDCO Vacuum Components
Our Sales and Technical Teams can help review workpiece geometry, weight, porosity, cup size and material, vacuum-flow requirements, cycle time, release method, sensing and mounting. We can also coordinate EDCO vacuum components with robotics, pneumatics, controls and supporting EOAT hardware.
Vacuum Cup Selection
Start with part weight, surface contour, porosity, temperature, available contact area and marking requirements to determine cup style, size, material and quantity.
Vacuum Pump Sizing
Review required evacuation time, system volume, expected leakage, porosity, vacuum level, compressed-air availability and whether a centralized or distributed approach is appropriate.
Release, Monitoring & Filtration
Coordinate quick-release methods, vacuum sensing, check or flow-control devices, filtration and exhaust treatment around cycle time and contamination conditions.
WBIYII Vacuum Assemblies
Combine EDCO pumps, cups, fittings, sensors, filters, valves and mounting hardware into repeatable WBIYII vacuum assemblies or installation-ready kits.
Selection note: Vacuum-handling calculations should account for the complete dynamic application, including part orientation, acceleration, safety factor, surface condition, leakage, cup wear and loss of vacuum. EDCO states that it supplies EOAT components rather than complete robot tooling; Scott Equipment Company can support component selection and pre-assembled vacuum packages without positioning either company as the turnkey robot-tool integrator.
