Be sure to before handling. Safe designs should be developed, which accounts for the possibility of accidents resulting from a drop in vacuum pressure due to power failure or trouble with the air supply, etc. If vacuum pressure drops and there is a loss of vacuum pad adsorption force, work pieces being carried may fall, causing human injury or damage to machinery, Safety measures should be implemented such as the installation of drop prevention guides. Select vacuum pumps which have a suitable suction flow rate. If the vacuum pump suction flow rate is too low, this will cause poor adsorption....
