Floating Suction Cups
Special Grippers
Special grippers can be used for applications in which regular suction cups cannot generate a vacuum. Schmalz offers a variety of special grippers with various shapes, sizes and principles of operation.
Floating suction cups function according to the Bernoulli principle and enable low-contact handling of thin and sensitive workpieces such as plastic films, paper or solar cells. The floating suction cup generates an air cushion on which the workpiece “floats”. Leakages are compensated for with the help of a high flow rate in order that porous workpieces can also be handled and separated.
