What are Vacuum lifters without bumper and how do they absorb workpieces through compressed air?

The core principle of Vacuum lifters without bumper is based on the vacuum suction generated by compressed air. Specifically, the vacuum suction cup uses compressed air to generate negative pressure, so that a vacuum zone is formed between the suction cup and the surface of the workpiece, thereby achieving strong absorption. When the suction cup contacts the workpiece, the device automatically adjusts the absorption force through the built-in control system to ensure that the suction force is strong enough to firmly absorb various flat materials and that the items will not fall off during the handling process due to insufficient suction.

Traditional Vacuum lifters are often equipped with bumpers to act as a buffer when the suction cup contacts the workpiece to avoid damage caused by collision between the suction cup and the workpiece surface. However, modern Vacuum lifters without bumper can achieve more precise absorption control and stronger absorption force through intelligent suction cup technology. The design without bumpers has the following main advantages:

Vacuum lifters without bumper optimize the design of the suction cup and improve the control accuracy of compressed air to make the absorption force stronger and can firmly absorb workpieces of different materials and thicknesses. The absence of bumpers means that the suction cups are in direct contact with the workpiece surface, which helps improve the suction accuracy and can better adapt to slight changes in the material surface.

Although there is no bumper, the suction technology of the smart suction cups automatically adjusts the suction force according to the surface characteristics of the workpiece, ensuring that the workpiece is firmly sucked without excessive pressure. For some fragile or high-precision materials, such as glass or thin plates, avoiding the use of bumpers can reduce potential damage caused by excessive buffering.

After removing the bumper, the structure of the equipment is more concise, and the number and complexity of mechanical parts are reduced, which not only improves the stability of the system, but also reduces the difficulty and cost of maintenance. In addition, the simple design also makes Vacuum lifters without bumper lighter and convenient for flexible use in various industrial environments.

Vacuum lifters without bumper can absorb various non-magnetic materials, ensure strong suction, and rely on its intelligent control system to monitor the suction strength in real time. The suction force of the suction cup will automatically adjust according to the material, surface flatness and thickness of the workpiece to ensure that the suction force is always strong enough to avoid insufficient suction during handling. In addition, vacuum lifters without bumper are usually equipped with built-in pressure sensors and alarm systems. When the suction is insufficient or the system fails, the equipment will issue an alarm in time to ensure safe operation.

Vacuum lifters without bumper are widely used in many industries and fields, especially in those scenarios where large-area, flat-surface workpieces need to be handled. Its applications include but are not limited to:

In industrial production, vacuum lifters without bumper are often used to transport materials such as metal sheets, glass, plastics and plexiglass, especially for automated handling on production lines. The design without bumpers not only improves the handling accuracy, but also reduces the wear on the workpiece and extends the service life of the workpiece.

Glass is a very fragile material, and traditional handling methods are prone to breakage. Vacuum lifters without bumper can efficiently and safely transport glass plates by precisely controlling the suction, reducing the risk of breakage and damage.

Vacuum lifters without bumper are also widely used in logistics and warehouse management. It can efficiently and accurately transport various types of flat goods, improve work efficiency and reduce the risks and errors caused by manual handling.

In modern automated assembly lines, vacuum lifters without bumper can accurately move various parts from one location to another, and are particularly suitable for handling workpieces with regular shapes and smooth surfaces.
