Product Features
VBF PU-18F series vacuum suction cups are professional pneumatic automation gripping components available in dual flat and corrugated bellows styles, covering complete size specifications from 30mm, 40mm, 50mm, 60mm, 80mm to 100mm. Made of high-elastic industrial silicone material with precision integral molding technology, these suction cups feature smooth surface, uniform thickness and excellent air tightness without air leakage or deformation during long-term operation. The dual structural design integrates the advantages of flat and bellows suction cups, perfectly adapting to smooth flat surfaces and slightly uneven curved workpieces. With strong vacuum adsorption performance and stable structural toughness, it supports high-frequency cyclic grabbing work. Standard universal mounting interface ensures great compatibility with robotic manipulators and automated loading & unloading equipment, widely applicable for electronic parts handling, packaging carton gripping and various industrial automation scenarios.
Product Advantages
This dual-style silicone vacuum suction cup possesses multiple competitive advantages for industrial automation production. First, dual-structure dual-purpose design. The flat type achieves full close fitting for flat panels and smooth workpieces, while the corrugated bellows type provides excellent telescopic buffering and height compensation, solving the grabbing problem of uneven and irregular workpieces with strong universal adaptability. Second, premium industrial silicone performance. The high-quality silicone material features outstanding oil resistance, aging resistance, wear resistance and high elasticity, not easy to harden, crack or deform after long-term high-frequency use, greatly extending service life. Third, super strong and stable adsorption. Excellent vacuum tightness brings powerful and uniform gripping force, effectively preventing workpiece slipping and falling during high-speed automated operation, improving production stability. Fourth, full-size matching. Multiple caliber specifications meet the gripping requirements of different workpiece weights and sizes, realizing one-stop selection for automation equipment. Fifth, easy installation and cost-effective. Standard interface supports quick disassembly and replacement, suitable for mass equipment maintenance and batch procurement, ideal for long-term supporting use in packaging, electronics and automation industries.
How to Use
First, inspect the suction cup before installation to confirm no cracks, deformation, aging or surface damage, and select the appropriate style and size according to the workpiece type and equipment demand. Second, clean the mounting connector of the robotic arm and the suction surface of the workpiece to remove dust, oil stains and sundries, ensuring clean and dry contact surfaces for better vacuum adsorption. Third, align the VBF PU-18F suction cup with the pneumatic fixture interface, install and fix it firmly to ensure a tight connection and avoid air leakage. Fourth, turn on the pneumatic system and perform air tightness test to check for air leakage at the connection and suction cup edge, and adjust the vacuum pressure to the standard working range. Fifth, conduct trial grabbing on target workpieces: use flat suction cups for flat smooth workpieces and bellows suction cups for uneven workpieces, fine-tune pressure to ensure stable and firm gripping without crushing or slipping materials. Sixth, after the trial run is normal, start formal automated loading, unloading and handling operations. For daily maintenance, regularly clean the suction cup surface dirt, check for aging and air leakage, and replace the vulnerable suction cup in time to maintain stable equipment operation.
