Metal sheets to handle ?
High vacuum suction devices are mostly used for applications requiring the handling of metal sheets. Unlike magnets, the use of vacuum as a gripping mode gives the flexibility to handle ferrous OR non-ferrous parts. The design also has the advantage of better spreading the support of the load along the parts to help reduce deflexion. The vacuum power pack is mounted directly on the unit which makes it easy to install. Hook, plug and play! The surface of the load needs to be non-porous, smooth and clean.
