Components for Automatic Transfer Systems
Vacuum Pads, Ejectors
The latest servo press machines and automation technologies have improved production processes in press shops. Faster operation speeds require vacuum pads that not only offer high holding power and durability but also maintain quick responsiveness to the workpiece.
Benefits of Vacuum Pads
- Free deformation and very high suction power
- Excellent adaptability to component shapes
- Does not damage the workpiece surface due to integrated molding
- Retains the workpiece even during emergency stops
- High wear resistance and durability
- Suitable for use on aluminum, steel, and plastic surfaces
- Recyclable
