Vacuum Grippers

If you want to lift a stone slab, a cardboard box or a sheet of wood, it is not the weight which is important, but the selection of the correct suction pad.
The many different standard suction pads can be combined freely with all types of lifting tubes. You can thus easily and quickly assemble the best solution for your handling task.

Three different standard suction pads and many customer-specific suction pads are available for your application.
