FIPA short-stroke vacuum cups for flat surfaces

In order to handle hot-moulded parts with ease, FIPA GmbH offers an efficient solution for special handling tasks. Applications for these vacuum cups range from removing hot plastic mouldings from injection moulding tools through to handling work pieces with rough or grained surfaces.
“The FIPA short-stroke vacuum cups represent a highly versatile solution component,” says Rainer Mehrer, CEO, FIPA.
A small but high-precision design element reduces the space requirement. Thanks to the dovetailed double sealing lip, a better ratio is obtained between the active suction surface and the space requirement than occurs with vacuum cups with a sloping suction lip. This advantage can be particularly clearly seen in gripper assembly. The flat vacuum cups with minimal lift achieve a greater suction force than conventional vacuum cups in the smallest space.
A typical application for short-stroke vacuum cups is the removal of hot plastic parts from the tool mould of injection moulding machines. If the moulded parts are for the instrument panel, these are usually grained. In this case, a FIPA short-stroke vacuum cup from HNBR is the right choice. It offers a temperature tolerance range from -30 C to 160 C and high-suction power. And for handling parts with rough surfaces such as rubber mats, cardboard packaging, wood or stone, FIPA short-stroke vacuum cups are particularly suitable.
