1. Choose the model depending on the shape of object to lift. 2. Choose the size of the cup based on the weight of the object to lift. 3. Choose lie material of the cup based on the working environment and surface texture. 4. Select the fitting size to suit the application. 5. Select the accessory depending on the application i.e.. level compensator or ball joint. 14 Specifications subject to change without notice. www.vmeca.com SUCTION CUPS 6. Applications for suction cups VB (Bellows) The bellows cup is very good at compensating for a degree of difference in level and curvature of the work piece Similar advantages to that of the normal bellows cups but can cope with an increased degree of height compensation and is particularly good for handling fragile objects Good lifting forces can be achieved with this cup, is best suited to flat stable surfaces, but can cope with a small degree of curvature. Again good lifting forces can be achieved with this pad; optimum- lifting forces can be achieved with this cup in the horizontal plane, but is also good in the vertical plane. This pad is specifically designed to cope with both flat and curved surfaces, which means that multiple objects can be handled with the same vacuum pad Features and strengths This is best suited to curved or irregular surfaces Also, it is deep and grip around corners and edges. This pad is best suitable for gandling long objects With flat or curved surgaces. Specially, paralle to the surgace of the object it has a thick and durable lip. Used for handling rough and uneven surfaces and when used with ball joint option and level spring option can accommodate very unlevel and uneven surfaces. Developed to be used for opening plastic bags this pad gives good adhesive to thin plastic and film type materials. VBL (Long Bellows) VS (Sponge) KPS (Plastic Bag Opening) VU (Universal) VF (Flat) VFC (Flat Curve) VD (Deep flat) VOC (Oval Curved) Vtec suction cups are available in a wide range of shapes, sizes, materials and configurations. The standard cups range from 2mm to 400mm in diameter, with lifting forces of up to 1300kg at - 90kPa. Many types of object and materials can be lifted, flat, curved, smooth, coarse, dense and porous. All the cups are manufactured to very high standards, and cups can be ordered separately or complete with fitting. VBF (Bellows & Flat) Best suitable for handling long objects With flat and curved surfaces VOU (Oval Universal) Non-contact handling item. Safe gripping with mark free. No moving parts.

Same general advantages to that of the normal bellows cups but can be fitted directly onto a piece of pipe, thus making installation very simple and reducing pad costs to a minimum, very suitable for integration to packaging machines. Good lifting force can be achieved with this cup in the vertical plane. Prevent transformation when lifting metal thin plate.
