Suction cups always steal the show from their essential partners: cup holders. Vuototecnica designers know, in any case, that it is a seeming subservience because these ones often resolve operational and installation problems, even in harsh environments.
This is the case of special cup holders, able to work under humidity extreme conditions and in very dusty environments, too.
There are different types with high, low or double springing path, depending on the load to be lifted and on suction cups to be mounted (simple or bellows).
There is also the possibility to request them with a feeler pin or a feeler valve, devices able to open the suction only when the suction cup is in contact with the load. In this way, we avoid waste of power supply because when the surface is not uniform or when not all pads are in contact with the load, no vacuum is created. You can also think of providing them with self-closing valve that literally excludes non-contact suction cups and also prevents the lowering of vacuum degree in other suction cups.
However, when the load is not parallel to suction cups, special jointed cup holders (with or without swivel joint) do the job. Compensating for errors in perpendicularity, allow the grip safely.
They are finally available in non-rotating version and in different materials, to solve all handling and assembly problems.
