Christmas is approaching and under the tree, as always happens from a few years now, many will find, as a gift from friends and relatives, tablets, cell phones and other technological products, characterized by the presence of a touch screen.
Have you ever stopped to think how these screens are produced? Does anyone clean them all before mounting them on electronic devices? How do you handle the fragility of glass in production?
Glass is typically produced in machining centers with bench-mounted suction cups, which can ensure that each piece is gripped firmly yet gently.
In this case, suction cups are the best solution because they can handle items without leaving marks on the surface.
Over the years, Vuototecnica concentrated on guaranteeing the success of this production phase by offering its clients various types of suction cups and vacuum generators.
The rubber suction cups with anti-stain compound had great success with their extreme flexibility that allows them to adapt to flat, concave and convex surfaces without ever ruining the surface.
Another possibility branded Vuototecnica are the Bernoulli BEC suction cups that limit contact with the surface of the screens without leaving unwanted marks and without generating particular inertia in the release time, which can happen with the rubber lip seal of traditional suction cups.
The BECs create a flow of lamellar air between them and the object to be gripped. Therefore, no contact is created during gripping.
Needless to say, in terms of speed of movement they are ideal, and they never lose their precision.
Moreover, since they are made of aluminum, they do not need maintenance, neither for replacement nor for cleaning. Thanks to their principle of operation, they do not suck in anything inside because they deflect the volume of air sucked in towards their outer circumference.
Should there be dust or liquids on the screens, it makes no difference in terms of efficiency. The stabilizing pins ensure that the object does not rotate: a plus for stability.
