Deciding which type of vacuum gripper and handling system is best for your application can be a daunting task. To help you learn more, the expert team at EDCO USA has compiled this guide to help lead you through the process of selecting the best vacuum cup for your application.The Basics of Choosing Vacuum Cups & Vacuum GrippersVacuum cups and vacuum gripper systems hold an object in a fixture to lift or transport it from one position to the other without worry of damage. When designing a handling system, vacuum cups must be your first design consideration. The rest of the system is built around the cups and grippers you have selected, making vacuum cups a critical element within your gripper system. Several considerations inform which type of vacuum cup will be best suited to your application.Vacuum Cup Work SurfacesUnderstanding your workpiece’s surface will assist you in finding the best gripper for your application. The lifted object’s construction material, surface type, and contour type will influence the shape, size, and quantity of vacuum cups needed. Your object’s surface shape may be:FlatSlight ConcaveConvexCompoundSphericalCylindricalFlexiblePlastic FilmVacuum Cup Sizes & QuantityMany people, especially when they are new to creating handling systems, believe that a higher vacuum level automatically translates to a greater lifting capacity. However, in many applications, a lesser vacuum level is required to keep an object securely gripped and undamaged. You can instead increase the size or quantity of vacuum cups to create a better lift.Vacuum cups are sized based on the load, available vacuum capacity, and cup area. However, factors such as suction force and system pressure can impact the size. We do not advise increasing the required vacuum level to make a system work. Instead, increasing the number or size of vacuum cups will be more effective in creating a system large enough to meet your requirements. The best practice is to use only one cup style and
