A line of vacuum suction cups featuring button probe valves which only
open when a cup touches a load to
provide faster attach-and-release, while
preventing air loss, is available
from ANVER Corp. of Hudson,
Massachusetts.
ANVER’s Vacuum Probe Cups feature button
probe valves which remain closed to save air and energy and are actuated
when they touch the load, providing faster attach-and-release than
conventional cups. Ideally suited for large
pick-up arrays used in high cycle
automation equipment, they prevent leakage caused by suction cups
that missed the load or are not being used.
Maintaining vacuum right at the pick-up
point, ANVER’s Vacuum Probe Cups are designed for continuous duty. The
Delrin® button probe protrudes slightly from the center, is
spring-loaded to remain closed, and opens instantly when it touches a
load to permit vacuum flow. Applications include packaging lines that
pick-up multiple products simultaneously. |
