XP-F40N-18FX40 EDCO Flat Vacuum Cup
Sku#: XP-F40N-18FX40
Flat vacuum cups are like universal cups except they have cleats on the bottom with serve as traction surfaces and support the workpiece being lifted to prevent or limit deformation. The cleats limit deflection and maintain a larger exposed are to vacuum for a firm grip on the workpiece.
Flat vacuum cups have a high stability and traction but a very short stroke. They should be used primarilly for flat workpieces or sheet goods such as cardboard, corrugated board, and dry sheet metal. Flat vacuum cups will not work well within thin workpieces such as plastic sheet goods or flexible packaging.
Flat vacuum cups have very little angular compensatioin ability so they should always pick up perpendicular to a flat workpiece surface.
Suitable Workpiece Surface:
- Flat
- Shear Loads
