Robots for the discharge of molded parts from plastics printing presses need reduced in size and very lightweight handling solutions.
To meet this demand, Vuototecnica designed a range of mini cup holders that stand out for firmness and lightweight, ideal for very small suction cups but, in proportion, with the same performance of larger series.
These cup holders can be mounted to suction cups which have a maximum diameter of 60 mm – traditional or bellows cups, in different compounds – and they are composed of: a spring, to cushion the impact of the cup and at the same time to maintain a constant pressure on the load to be lifted, and a quick connector for connection to the suction pipe.
Vuototecnica mini cup holders are easy to assemble to the automatisms and they have several types of connection to vacuum (axial or radial), depending on the needs.
In addition to the version for suction cups with support, with brass stem, are available:
- with recessed spring and anodized aluminum fixing stem, suitable for suction cups with male threaded support. In this case, the particular shape of the brass sleeve, for the fastening to the machine, prevent stem rotation and suction cup rotation, in consequence;
with short stroke which, along with a special shape, allow even a smaller footprint and a lower weight than other products in the range; and this makes them particularly suitable for small suction cups with diameters between 10 and 30 mm.
