Suction Cups for High-Temperature Applications
Vacuum Suction Cups
Suction cups and suction plates for handling flat, smooth workpieces such as glass which depend on high lateral forces. Bellow suction cups for gentle handling of, for example, automotive glass as well as handling of visible parts made of glass while leaving few marks.
Schmalz has developed suction cups to handle workpieces at high temperatures that are perfect for this task. The suction plates can withstand temperatures up to 600 °C and can be used for handling when tempering float glass and during the heat forming process of metal.
